Zac Brown Band apologizes for ‘tasteless gag’ performed during Fenway concert

John Young, a high school math teacher, was working his summer job as a greeter at Fenway Park on Sunday when something offensive caught his attention on the stage where the Zac Brown Band was wrapping up their show.

A person with dwarfism came out on the stage, pretending to be security, and acted out wrestling with someone.

Young, who has finished 17 marathons and was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism, didn’t find the sketch funny.

He told WCVB he was immediately affected by what he witnessed, recalling the treatment inflicted on him during his childhood.
