Cubs ban fan for making "white power" symbol on air


May 9, 2019, 3:01 PM

From the "Wut? News of the Day"


https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/cubs-indefinitely-ban-fan-who-used-offensive-hand-gesture-behind-doug-glanville-at-game/


Two days after a fan was seen making an "OK" symbol with his hand on NBC Sports Chicago's broadcast of a Cubs game, the team has said they have permanently banned the man from Wrigley Field.

Former MLB outfielder Doug Glanville was reporting live during Tuesday night's game against the Miami Marlins when the fan, seated behind him, was spotted flashing a peace sign before making and holding the "OK" gesture. That symbol has been used for many different things -- one being a "white power" symbol, according to the Anti-Defamation League, that has been adopted by white supremacist groups. It is also used as part of the "circle game," in which people try to trick others into looking at the circle made with their hands.

NBC even blurred the hand symbol out (in a recent piece) because apparently it's so offensive

MSM you're so dumb....

This was all started on 4Chan to prove how fawking stupid the media is. If internet trolls say it's racist, can we make it racist? The answer is yes.

Circle game - all of the players on my son's baseball


May 9, 2019, 4:14 PM

team - in their team pictures from last season - are making the "circle game" hand gesture. (All players - black and white.)

So now - he's not going to be able to get a job because that gesture is suddenly racist?

It’s called “made you look”

This is a distraction from them reinstating a wife beater.
