Here’s a case from manager/fan incident that occurred over the weekend.  According to Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times, Tampa Bay Rays manager, Joe Maddon, had security remove a fan removed for yelling racist comments at B.J. Upton.  The fan was wearing an Orioles jersey.

He said something racial and I didn’t like it,’’ Maddon said. “He can say whatever he wants, but don’t go there. And I didn’t want B.J. to go up into the stands or do anything at that point. So I just wanted to make sure he was taken out of there. There is no room for that at all.’

A Twitter account appeared on Sunday evening from a fan claiming to be the one who was kicked out of the game.  They said, “by no means did I use any racist terms against Upton or anyone else. I simply yelled he sucks because I don’t like him. Maddon is a liar.”  The Tweet has since been removed.
