Viral videos from yesterday’s game at Yankee stadium show two men unveiling a “Trump Won Save America” flag on the first-base side of the stadium which prompted a Bronx cheer of boos from many in the crowd.
Below you can view the moment from different angles:
But what happened next belongs to countries with communist regimes.
The security escorted out of Yankee Stadium Thursday – one of them apparently in cuffs.
The stadium is booing the people.
Below we have videos where security tackles and handcuffs the fans and confiscating the flag:
Photos from the incident:
“Sounded like the entire crowd was booing until security confiscated the banner, which then resulted in a large cheer,” tweeted Max Goodman, who covers the team for Sports Illustrated.
Lindsey Adler, reporter with The Athletic tweeted “Lots of booing here after some jabronis unfurled a ‘TRUMP WON’ banner off the second deck. (He didn’t).”
For a country with the greatest freedom on earth, we really felt low, even if you don’t support Trump you have to allow people to express their opinion, it’s why we have the first amendment after all!
The left can’t cancel Trump, in fact, the more they try, the bigger he becomes.
“Our right to freedom of speech being censored again.”
Problem is, the indoctrinated support this stuff. One day they’ll regret it, but all I can do is watch.
Crowds whistle as the Boo. No. That is not the Bronx cheer.
I do not believe the Yankees crowd was booing Trump. Nope
Well then, looks like the American public, never well known for its critical thinking or intelligence, is quite happy to get rid of the guy who worked to put this country first. It deserves what it’s going to get, but WE don’t. We don’t deserve what is going to happen to this country.
Yes. Watching the reaction by the “authorities”, that was the way communist street muscle would react.
Exactly.
Disturbing to watch.
It was a non-sequitur act at a private (i.e.: not government run) event, highly distracting from the purpose of most there. I’d be annoyed too, except that I despise baseball.
Yes, security came down on them harder than most comparable alternative messages. Not surprising. Choose your battles carefully.
I wonder how things would have gone, had the banner said, “Biden is Competent!!”.
Because, like NO ONE even believes that.
There is no right of free speech in a private setting. I think it's great what these guys did, but they had no right to do it.
BTT, NO LINKS BUT TWATTER? I DON’T USE IT.
“Our right to freedom of speech being censored again.”
But I will bet anyone that if their flag had been in support of the GBTQ OR THE BLM, nothing would have happened.
Is it legal to just drop any banner you want at one of those games?
I suspect there are BLM and Gay flags flying freely at Yankee Stadium these days. American flags underneath if they’re flown at all.
Try to take one of those down and you’ll find yourself at the mercy of the Communist State.
Question is; What would have happened if someone unfurled a banner that said; “I can’t breathe” ??
And do they have a BLM sign in this stadium? There was one that recently put one up.
Problem is, the indoctrinated support this stuff. One day they’ll regret it, but all I can do is watch.

Its not their turn yet ...
Will they be held in solitary confinement, denied bond and fake media media preside over their day of infamy, worse than Pearl Harbor?
Remember when people could view sports without politics?
At least be more creative ... like showing Biden at bat, holding the wrong end of the bat, the ball has just sped past him to the catcher’s mit ... and the umpire is calling it a “home run!”
This was probably a stunt by the other side to show us.
Yes.
The time to unfurl it was when the players were kneeling during the anthem. Then roll it back up to symbolize not bringing politics into the actual game.
Freedom to display a banner
Freedom to boo a banner.
Freedom to remove a banner from private property
All freedoms were respected.
