That’s the question, right there in the headline: Would you speak up against racist taunts at the ballpark? Everyone was saying the right thing Tuesday, the day after Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles said he was subjected to racist slurs at Fenway Park, and even had a bag of peanuts thrown in his direction. A standing ovation for Jones at Fenway Park on Tuesday night would be thoughtful. No, the responsibility for stopping one fan from racist heckling rests with the fans sitting around him. Someone has to speak up.
