[Cali_Democrat]

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) Boston Bruins fans blew up Twitter Thursday night following the team’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

P.K. Subban ended up scoring the winning goal in the fifth minute of the second overtime.

Fans showing disappointment would have been completely understandable. But many of them took it to a whole other level, seeming to follow in the footsteps of Donald Sterling.

7. “The racist, classless views expressed by an ignorant group of individuals following

Thursday’s game via digital media are in no way a reflection of anyone associated with the Bruins organization,” Neely said.

Nor with Boston Strong.. as any thinking person would know.

8. Racism in Boston

Ignorant people are everywhere. Boston is not immune. They just hide behind the internet and spew their garbage. Disgraceful, but as I said before, they are everywhere. Hate is in abundance in this country and it is shameful.
