How did Boston Red Sox fans react Aug. 14 when outfielder Jarren Duran returned to the lineup after a two-game suspensio
Boston Red Sox's Jarren Duran singles during the eighth inning Aug. 14, 2024, against the Texas Rangers at Fenway Park. A social media video claims to show Boston Red Sox fans giving a standing ovation to outfielder Jarren Duran’s return from a two-game suspension for using a homophobic slur. But the video was altered.
A video that’s gone viral on social media claims Duran, who has publicly apologized for using the slur that was caught on a hot mic, received a standing ovation from the Fenway Park faithful. As the X community note points out, the video opened with a clip of Tigers and Red Sox fans giving a standing ovation to Tigers star Miguel Cabrera, who was playing his final game at Fenway Park on Aug. 13, 2023.Another flaw in the video is the broadcaster saying amid camera shots of fans standing and cheering,"I’d say maybe half the fans right now are giving Adam a standing ovation."
We watched the Red Sox-Rangers game on MLB.com to see how fans reacted to Duran’s return. Some applause could be heard, but there was no prolonged ovation shown or acknowledged by the broadcast.that Duran received a"louder than usual cheer" when introduced in pregame warmups and another hand when he came to the plate for the first time.
