West Point investigation concludes cadets did not flash "white power" sign at Army-Navy game
CBS ^ | December 20, 2019 | Caroline Linton

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point said Friday it concluded after an internal investigation that cadets at the Army-Navy game last week did not flash a "white power" symbol on national television. The investigation concluded the cadets were playing the "circle game," where the hand sign is made below someone's waist and — if another person looks at it — the person making the symbol punches the other person.

"We investigated this matter thoroughly," Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams, 60th superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy, said in a news release. "Last Saturday we had reason to believe these actions were an innocent game and not linked to extremism, but we must take allegations such as these very seriously. We are disappointed by the immature behavior of the cadets."

The Naval Academy, which also conducted an investigation, similarly concluded the midshipmen were "participating in a sophomoric game."

So what if they did. Black power hand signs are okay with USMA.

Libs try to find anything that they can claim as a trigger, so they can have something to complain about.

Many morons, like Juan, were taken in by a known 4chan troll.

Origin of the troll:

Note the date on that.

The “circle game” made its rounds at my middle school a few years ago. That was my first thought.

On the same day in the same game that a fan got banned forever from Wrigley field for using the "circle" sign behind the back (supposedly) of a black sportscaster, this happened:

Kyle Schwarber is on record as saying about the "OK" sign:
“There’s no place for it here,” Schwarber said. ”You don’t want to see it around any ballpark. This is the Friendly Confines.”

I think it has to be upside down which makes zero sense but liberals never make sense.

We were doing it in the early 70’s. Wasn’t racist then, isn’t racist now. The left needs a white boogie man. They have to keep the blacks stirred up to get their votes. They lose the reliable black vote and they’re finished. Blacks should feel insulted by the Democrats.

I wish Fox would put up the collage of media stars flashing that symbol. For them it is actually a satan worshiping sign, but let Juan use that as an excuse.
