Liverpool owner John Henry met with boos as he breaks three-year silence

Liverpool principal owner John W. Henry was met with boos as he appeared to speak in front of Boston Red Sox fans for the first time in almost three years on Friday night.

Fenway Sports Group chief Henry, 72, was appearing on stage at the Red Sox's Winter Weekend event in Springfield, Massachusetts, an event that was designed to be a feel-good chance for fans to connect with the team ahead of the beginning of Spring Training at the beginning of March, the pre-cursor to the start of the Major League Baseball season.

Henry had not appeared in person in front of fans to speak publicly since FSG faced considerable ire from Red Sox fans for the trading of star Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers in February 2020, his only other public comments coming when he delivered an apology to Liverpool fans for his part in dragging the club into the failed European Super League saga.
