They even blurred it. How dumb can you be. It’s the circle game, it has nothing to do with white nationalism.
Via Daily Caller:
A Chicago Cubs fan has been banned “indefinitely” from Wrigley Field after making a hand gesture perceived by some as racist, the organization announced on Wednesday.
The fan made an “OK” gesture while seated above Doug Glanville, a black reporter. The gesture has been associated with white nationalism.
The Cubs banned the fan after conducting an investigation, which found that the unidentified fan had violated the organization’s “code of conduct.”
“After repeated attempts to reach this individual by phone, we sent a letter to the individual notifying him of our findings and our decision that, effectively immediately, he will not be permitted on the grounds of Wrigley Field or other ticketed areas indefinitely,” Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney said in a statement.
