Marlins OF Lewis Brinson called out the N-Word by fan during Rockies game

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis brinson was subjected to racist venom in his last batting game in Sunday’s game against the Colorado Rockies… being called the n-word by a fan.

Brinson was at the plate atop the 9th with the Rockies ahead of the Marlins from afar, and with one out recorded… he stood up to take a hack. After taking a second bullet, someone in the stands started to throw the insult as hard as he could.

The man’s words were picked up over a microphone… and you can clearly hear him say it over and over again, apparently in Brinson’s direction – as the guy turned to look at himself.

It is not known if the fan has been found and punished for this objectionable language … because neither the Rockies nor Coors Field seem to have settled the situation as of yet. The Beat reporters and broadcasters who were watching / covering the game have spoken, however.

All are asking for the same thing… that the fan be identified and banned for life for using such language. As the Marlins’ playman Paul Severino Put it on … “The level of hate that has been displayed has no place in this world. Unfortunately, it’s still far too prevalent. We need to be better. And soon. Awful.” The feeling was similar in the others as well.

Brinson, for his part, had played this streak pretty well – getting 2 hits on Sunday and 3 on Saturday… so he was causing trouble for the Rockies. Yet for someone to stoop to that … it’s contemptible.

Another weird thing … the MLB app does not allow watching the Rockies / Marlins game at the moment – even though it’s already over. It may still be archived at the moment, but it’s also possible that the league will clean up / censor today’s game in light of what happened.
