One day after it was reported that a fan at Coors Field repeatedly yelled the n-word at Black Miami Marlins player Lewis Brinson, it turns out that’s not what happened.

The Colorado Rockies said Monday the fan was actually calling the name of the team’s mascot, Dinger, who was nearby: “After a thorough investigation . . . [we] have concluded that the fan was indeed yelling for . . . Dinger in hopes of getting his attention for a photo . . . ”

Brinson, who didn’t hear it during the game, wasn’t entirely convinced, saying, “I watched the video at least 50 times . . . I personally keep hearing the n-word.”

However, he said of the Rockies’ conclusion, “If that’s the case, then I’m sorry for any backlash or anything he’s getting . . . ”
