You're at the game chilling when a drunk guy pips up and drops the n-bomb. Then another guy. Then a gal. Then before you know you're surrounded by a chorus of nigger.
You staying? You making this a teaching moment? You leaving and having a quiet ass drive home to think about life?

and i wouldnt be mad at you.
you can't just say what you want without consequences. ball players take all kinds of abuse and 99.9% of the time, they shake it off and keep it moving.
but
it's inevitable that somebody gonna get Artest'd once in a blue moon. you can't just say whatever you want to people...

And promptly remind them that I have more cars than most of em have friends.
Then I'm putting the entire crowd on blast on sports center to remind the rest of the country on what they already know. Boston is a racist shithole and the footage shows it. Maybe get an apology from the organization. Maybe a few fans chanting it caught on film and hopefully some folks noticed and fired or shamed.

To answer your question, remember the Baltimore post from the other day? My stance is I don't intentionally fuck with places where that can pop off without repercussions (like beer gardens and bro! bars).
If it does happen then fuck it. A little name calling ain't hurting me.
Edit: The above assumes I'm in the crowd. If I'm on the field? I don't know. Probably not give a fuck.

Large groups of white folk and liquor is a bad combination.
I would like to think I would get shit popping but if it's me and the wife and kids I have to get them out of harms way.

Pay MLB security $2 million to escort the offenders near a hall far off from the stadium and turn around. Goons handle things appropriately. By goons I mean my security detail.

I hope I would not do anything that wouldnland me in jail or get killed.
How I see it, I can't fight what is in a person's heart. Even if I get into it with some racists and knock one or a few of them out, then how would that prevent them from using the n-word again? All my actions would do is reinforce whatever racist feelings they have toward Black people.
Point is that people like that will never change until they decide to change. The responsible thing to do is record them, put it on social media along with notifying security and have them grown out the ball park.
I am not an Orioles fan, but I am an Adam Jones fan. I even got him on a couple of fantasy baseball teams. I feel for the brotha. He is a very solid player who should not have to deal with racist taunts.
MLB may need to start issuing fines against teams whose fans are behaving is this fashion and/or forfeiture of the game. I think that would send a message to fans and get them to act right or at least keep their little racist opinions to themselves.
All white folks don't have skybox money like that. I don't have all the answers, but I do know that whatever is in a person's heart is in a person's heart.
So, getting someone kicked out the park is simply a temporary solution. The bullshit that is in a person's heart is something that person need to work out.
Adam Jones certainly does not deserve the disrespect. I wish Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts would have stepped up and spoke on this issue, since they play for the Red Sox.

48. "What would be the charge?" In response to Reply # 44
I am not a Legal Beagle, so maybe someone here with a legal background can speak on it better than myself.
My guess is that the jerk who threw the peanuts could be charged with assault, but more than likely he would get a fine and some community service, if that.
Perhaps, we can agree that something needs to be done regarding this issue. The MLB needs to did a way to protect its players from abuse. If that means going after each ball club, then so be it.
I saw that Adam Jones did get a standing ovation when he was at the plate today. It sure if it helps, but I think that some of the white fans in Boston are recognizing that racism has not place in the game, so least I hope?
