Reply to comment by WalterS0bchack in TIL in 1979, in between a double-header, the White Sox exploded a crate filled with disco records to stands of over 50k disco haters. Thousands flocked to the field afterward, which became so destroyed that they forfeit the 2nd game to the Tigers - the last time in AL history. by JackMacWindowsLinux

This. I can't recall the details, but I remember that the "Disco Demolition" was first and foremost motivated by racism and not a "hate for disco music".
