Update (10:50 p.m. ET): Evan Drellich of CSN New England has an interview with one of the demonstrators behind the banner. There were five people involved—three who held the banner, and two documenting the situation. (One was nearby and the other was further away inside the stadium; the latter was not removed from the park with the others.)
“We want to remind everyone that just as baseball is fundamental to American culture and history, so too is racism,” the group said in a written statement. “White people need to wake up to this reality before white supremacy can truly be dismantled. We urge anyone who is interested in learning more or taking action to contact their local racial justice organization.”
Gotta be honest, when I saw the headline this morning, I didn't know what position that banner was supporting.

My drunken intuition was all wrong apparently.
I wonder whether our confusion was part of the design's intent, to make it harder to ignore and force something more conscious in our reaction. If so, kudos to them.

Did the Dreadlocks and Mullets at least annihilate each other afterwards?

There was a woman with a mullet sitting behind me! I would actually take the mullets over the white dreadlocks.
What we in the biz call picking crab juice.
