I know that, but many people will take it as a black power pose. Check the other bobblehead poes (I don’t know what they look like to be honest), and the poses. I think most if not all are in some sort of “playing the game” pose.
Agreed that the typical pose is a game-action pose. The BoSox executive is being very thin-skinned/PC/overly cautious. If it were me, I’d bring in Big Papi and get his opinion to let him approve/disapprove the distribution. For that matter, it should have been done early in the process, even before letting the manufacturer produce the items.
