in addition to yelling the epithet “Monday” at Crawford, Perreault had, in other settings, used racial epithets or made racist remarks.


How is monday a racial epithet???? Is this something new or does it have something to do with baseball insults?

Honestly I am confused.

You know how everyone "hates Mondays"?
It became a code word to refer to blacks.
