Fans Ejected From Miami Marlins Game After Hanging Proud Boys Flag (Barf Alert)
Miami New Times ^ | June 9th 2021 | JESSICA LIPSCOMB

You know that one family member who just won't shut up about politics, even when you're trying to do something nice, like go for an after-dinner walk or drive Grandma to the doctor?

Last night, a handful of attendees at the Miami Marlins game were that guy. While the rest of the fans presumably just showed up to enjoy a nice summer-evening game against the Colorado Rockies, five jackwads at LoanDepot Park decided it would be fun and interesting to unfurl two right-wing posters: one declaring "PROUD BOYS DID NOTHING WRONG, FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS 1/6/21" and the other insisting "TRUMP WON, TAKE BACK AMERICA."

A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD), which had off-duty officers working security at the ballpark, tells New Times that five fans were ejected from the stadium. The matter was handled by Marlins personnel, and no one was arrested.

LoanDepot Park rules state that fans may not display banners larger than 3 feet by 5 feet and that all banners must be baseball-related. The regulations also explicitly say that signs may contain "NO statements regarding political affiliation, social and economic matters, or other statements that undermine civil liberties."

Lefties can't take what they dish out.

All banners must be baseball related . . . but players can take a knee and give the Black Power salute.

Glad I fired MLB early last year.

Why are people so upset about a little raid on the capitol?

Get ready for the false flags. Racist banners will start to be unfurled to taint Trump supporters.

Sounds like these signs are critical of a government that undermines civil liberties

And MLB has been full of social matter signs these days

I don’t see how us Christian Republicans care about baseball anyway with all those grown male coaches patting the male players on the butt after a hit. LOL

Hang a BLM banner and the game stops and they all bow down to you in worship.

America-hating radicals get respect, America-loving patriots get canceled.

The people who hung those banners contributed money to the Miami Marlins and MLB.

Agree. Isnt kneeling by the players a political statement? Jerkwads! Mlb should “walk-off” into the sunset.

Yep!

Alinsky himself encouraged radicals to dress in KKK robes and show up at conservative events.
