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.
It’s raciss to talk about ‘home’ plate with all the homeless minorities out there.
And what was that catcher up to when he told the pitcher to “try to hit the black” with the next pitch? Why is the white line a symbol of good?
When is the Biden DOJ going to take action? Is the fake noose garage door pulldown rope go team unavailable?
What? Just an abbreviation for the Kolored Kulture Klan.
Now they can go after him for not taking a knee while behind the plate.
At least three seconds before I figured it out.
Dang, I keep forgetting to check sources first before delving into stories.
got me too
Thank God for the Babylon Bee.
has Snopes and WaPo rated this false yes?
And me. I was about half way through the article before I checked to see if it was the Bee.
Love the BEE!!!
I have not watched a single game of my beloved Royals for this new season. I hear that they are in first place in the AL Central, but I don’t care. I will not support MLB until the Commissioner comes to his senses. I don’t expect that he will. He apparently talked to everyone concerned before he moved the All Star Game. Everyone except the fans, they clearly don’t count.
I’m sure that our response is beginning to register with this dolt. It’s too late, dumb ass.
With Manfred as commissioner any left-wing lunacy and just stupid ideas in general is possible. Make that, probable.
Got me only because it is within the realm of possibility.
GOT ME, TOOO!
baaaastads. funny
LOL - got me too!
