A Baseball fan was wrongly accused of yelling a racial slur at a player during Sunday’s game between the Colorado Rockies and the Miami Marlins.
Crowd mics picked up a person shouting while the Marlins’ Lewis Brinson was at the plate, and from there, the assumptions started to fly.
The Bleacher Report originally reported on the incident, with the headline “Rockies Investigate After Report of Fan Yelling Racial Slur at Marlins’ Lewis Brinson”:
‘Neither Lewis, nor any other Marlins on the field or in the dugout, heard what was shouted,’ Miami spokesman Jason Latimer told the Associated Press in a text. ‘We brought the matter to the attention of the Rockies. How the matter is being handled, I would have to defer to them.'”
