I'm going to not give the former Dennis and KKKallahan sidekick the benefit of the doubt on an incident involving a) being an asshole and b) racial elements.

SHARON — The dispute started like countless others on city sidewalks and suburban byways across America — with a pile of dog feces.
Near sundown one day last spring, Red Sox Hall of Famer Tommy Harper recalled, he was standing in the doorway of his Sharon home of 33 years when he spotted a neighbor’s dog defecating on his front lawn — again.
The golden Lab was under the control of a man Harper knew: Jon Meterparel, a former on-air personality with WEEI’s now-defunct “Dennis and Callahan” sports talk show. Meterparel has since been best known as the play-by-play voice of the Boston College football and basketball teams.

It’s not Meterparel who’s being accused of racism, correct? It’s Caswell. Meterparel’s only alleged wrong here is that he failed to clean up after his dog. Or am I missing something?

Correct. But he also backed up caswell's description of events.

Meterparel involved in an adversarial situation with a black guy? Given his love affair with KKKalahole and John Dennis I can't imagine how this ever happened!

I saw this story as more about one guy letting his dog poop on Tommy Harper’s lawn and then not pick it up. That’s disrespect and not neighborly. I’d be pissed, too, as Harper was. But I would have just put the poop in a bag and dropped it on the hood of Meter’s car.
