An investigation into accusations that students at last week's Army-Navy football game made white supremacist gestures determined that the students were playing a game and had no racist intentions, according to officials at West Point.
Pre-game festivities aired by ESPN on Dec. 14 showed cadets on both sides of the rivalry - two West Point cadets and one Naval Academy midshipman - making gestures as a camera focused on a sideline report.
At least one of the gestures resembled a white supremacist symbol described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as "the thumb and forefinger joined together in a circle, the remaining three fingers splayed out behind."

We called it “bagging” in the Air Force and you had to do it below the waist or above the shoulders.
The spokesman for West Point, Captain Obvious said ....
According to SPLC, making the OK sign with your thumb and forefinger with the other digits extended is some kind of secret white power signal. It’s so secret that only liberals know about it.
There are literally hundreds of images of black political figures using that gesture. Does not make them white supremacists?
Time to label the SPLC a hate group. They are completely devoid of any merit and are nothing but a black racist extortion group now
You can’t type that.
Damn racist. ....lol.
The left is so stupid... keep trolling them!
That this nonsense rose to the level of an investigation is further proof that madness reigns.
The Southern Poverty Law Center fell for a gag played upon the internet by the autists at 4chan.org, and the whole world now has to put up with their continuing attempts to convince the world that its real. Let it, losers, you were had.
Oprah. The racist whore.
Now ‘gimme a prize. ....
SPLC is the most ‘hate ‘group in the UnitedStates.
Grazie, Magnum
Duh.
Since there is no ‘white power gesture’ that looks like that of course they were doing something else- The whole ‘white power ok symbol’ was a HOAX!
There's still time to get out of the new pussified US military.
Guy on Jeopardy last night flashed a sign like the OK sign, but left a gap between thumb and forefinger.
When Alex ‘questioned’ him the dude says he is an Arizona Alum and the sign was
W (for the 3 fingers)
and
C (for the gap)
Wildcats.
Must have taped the show prior Army-Navy game...<: <: <:
