After LeBron James recently described experiencing racism while playing agains the Celtics in Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu offered a response on Monday.
James, 37, was asked during an episode of HBO’s “The Shop” earlier in July about why he hates Boston fans.
“Because they’re racist as f***,” James replied. “That’s why.”
James noted that fans in Boston will “say whatever the f*** they want,” and that he’s been hit with a beer leaving a game at TD Garden.
Over the decades, many other players have also documented experiencing racism from Celtics fans.
