On July 12th 1979 disco records were destroyed as part of the in-match entertainment. It has come to be seen as an appalling act of prejudice
ON THURSDAY nights the Chicago White Sox give something back to baseball fans, usually T-shirts for the first 10,000 people through the gates of Guaranteed Rate Field. On July 4th the garment is a handsome navy-blue number to mark Independence Day; on July 25th they remember the legendary Sox team of 1983 with a “Miracle on 35th Street” tee.
What made Disco Demolition Night infamous was that it seemed to symbolise the rage of white, male heterosexuality against black, Latino and gay culture. Comiskey Park was situated in the white working-class neighbourhood of Bridgeport, and there had been a history of racist incidents in the area. One African-American member of the stadium staff said that fans didn’t just bring disco records, they brought records by any black artist that came to hand.
