CINCINNATI, OH—A catcher for the Cincinnati Reds was ejected from a home game today after he was caught flashing several racist hand signals to the pitcher.
"We are shocked and saddened by this overt display of white supremacy from one of our players," said MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. "This is not who we are. We stand with the BIPOC community who is no doubt feeling so much pain and trauma after being forced to see such horrific racism during one of our games."
According to witnesses, Cincinnati catcher Bugs "Sluggo" O'Callahan flashed several evil hand signals during the game, including:
The one-finger signal, which represents the desire for one race to reign supreme The two-finger signal, which represents one woman and one man in marriage The three-finger signal, a top-secret gesture meaning "white power" The fingers extended and joined signal, which means "Heil Hitler" "This is ridiculous! those signs mean "fast ball", "curve ball", "slider", and "change up!" said O'Callahan. "We've been using those signals forever! I did nothing wrong!"
After a month of anti-racist training and threats against his family and all else he held dear, he revised his statement, saying: "I apologize to all who were hurt by my insensitive hand gestures and I stand in solidarity with all who have experienced injustice at the hands of white supremacy."
The entire Cincinnati Reds team has elected to amputate their hands to ensure this doesn't happen in the future.
Got me!
Dont give the wokesters any ideas.
If it’s true next week is it still satire this week?
Me too, I came to learn what those gestures are, might come in handy...
The last line gave BB away. They almost caught me -— as they usually do.
This Tweet was real.
Lulz, the idiocy alone .....
Someone send the idiot a memo enlightening the idiot to what a ‘K’ stands for in baseball, kthx. /s
But inquiring minds want to know. Did the "W" mean Slider or Change-Up? Like the Spit Ball, stealing signs is a baseball cheating tradition.
Hook line and sinker except for the final sentence.
Me too, and I DON’T mean #metoo :)
Completely!
LOL!

I have a single finger signal for the leftists.
Hilarious!!
Humor is at its funniest when it takes from real life.
This is FUNNY!!!
Best satire site there is. No one even comes close to the Bee.
So much hilarious stuff on the Bee today that I was tempted to post all of it. Glad you posted this one.
Got me. For 3 paragraphs, anyway.
Too close to the truth, ain’t it?
Sad, is it not, that the Bee manages to make the most ridiculous thing they can think of become a forecast of next week’s CNN headline news.
And the poor CNN dumb*sses actually will believe it.
