I’m so old I can remember when that sign meant,
.
. “Make the three-ring sign for Ballentine!” (...as in the beer.)
I remember Ole Mel Allen himself tossing that one to the camera.
I also remember it meaning, “OK” in SCUBA training, and in
other perfectly wholesome and proper venues.
Notice also that “White Nationalist” now means “Racist Pig Hater White SUPREMECIST.
All Newspeak.
Who was the idiot who decided this was a white supremacist gesture?
Even more troubling, how does something as nonsensical as this gain currency? It is the height of lunacy.
All of a sudden statues, pictures, speech, gestures, and other norms are deemed racist, sexist, homophobic, or something and must be destroyed or otherwise eliminated.
The pale face better start to fight back or he will be part of the endangered species list.
Black Power raised fist is OK?
That’s a pretty good way to put it.
If his identity isn’t given out, how will they ban him from attending the game?
(Looks to me like he was picking his nose, and in either case manifests a maturity level less than a 3rd grader, meaning he’s likely a democrat.)
Insanity.
How did they determine this was a racist gesture?
From 4chan pranking liberals into thinking everything from the peace sign to the OK sign was actually racist communication? Amazing, amazing.
Internet trolling affecting real life.
No mention of the Cubs and most of MLB teams being segregated until after 1947.
I agree. I’d sue the s__t out of them. What evidence do they have,other than this hand gesture, that he’s a racist? Unless this guy runs a “White Power” website, he probably can win.
“The mainstream Left really are programmable robots.”
Use the correct terminology. NPC (non playable characters)
Their minds were made up of fear from PC and social justice back lash. They have no minds of their own.
I have asked numerous friends what they thought the gesture meant, they did not know , as I
I find the comment “longstanding racist behavior” extremely debatable. My generation’s greatest Cub heroes were black. We didn’t even THINK about their race. Billy Williams, Ferguson Jenkins, and MR. CUB, Ernie Banks.
If someone made a racist comment about Banks in the stands in those days, I’m sure that nearby WHITE fans would “explain” their objections to it.
Maybe people in general are just worse today.
Yes, and a single index finger in the air as radical Muslims and Son of Chicago, Mullah Obama do
“Black Power raised fist is OK?”
Not only okay, but encouraged.
How many gang members showing signs have they expelled from the stadium? Crickets.
