Everything has everything to do with racism now...

You breath and are white, you are racist.
You were born and are not black, you are racist.

Is it even the 4chan troll symbol?

I thought it was the OK symbol, not the upside down punch people symbol.

Regardless, the liberals acknowledge it was a 4chan troll, but simply don't care, it now is racist regardless of origin. It has too be, they have run out of legitimate things to be outraged about.

The outrage is the only important factor. If the media can gin up hysteria by using this it's all good. The Cubs have no choice but to play along and say "OMG racism that's terrible" and pretend to do something about it.

Doubling down on the stupid.

The left refuses to admit when it is wrong or they have been had.

So they are gonna own the hand sign and make it rscist at all costs. That will demonstrate their power and that they are not to be messed with.

In other words their message is "got any other stupid shit you want to joke about so we can ruin it?"

The fan in question has now been banned from Wrigley Field.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/cubs-fan-racist-gesture-tv-doug-glanville/

By Wednesday evening, the Cubs knew the fan had purchased the ticket through StubHub, but failed reach the fan by phone after multiple attempts, so they sent a letter notifying him of the team’s decision to indefinitely bar him from Wrigley Field and other ticketed areas. The ban is effective immediately.

Kenney said if the fan attempts to enter Wrigley Field, he may be subject to prosecution for criminal trespass.

Team president Theo Epstein called the incident “truly disgusting.”

“It gave me shivers to watch that, that that would take place at Wrigley Field,” Epstein said.

What does a “ban” from entering the ballpark look like?

Will they post his mugshot at every ticket gate? Check everyone’s ID for names? How about a roving team of Gestapo on patrol in the crowd?

We did that back in 1989/1990. That person on TV obviously doesn't know the rules because you can't put the circle below the waist. If you grab and break the circle without looking, you get to hit them. If they flinch, you get two more hits. Some people always looked.

Edit: Obviously I forgot the rules. You can't go ABOVE the waist. Hey, it's only been thirty years, gimme a break.

Yep. Just about everyone on The Score is a nutjob. Waddle & Silvy, Dave Kaplan are about the only ones I listen to. I turn Waddle & Silvy off when Wilbon or Giengreco are on though.

I've been a white guy for about 62 years now.

How come I'm just learning there's a white power hand signal?

On the other hand, I found out about black power hand signals (raised/clenched fist) when I was a teen ager back in the early 70's.

If there is a difference in how they are viewed then there are the real signs of racism. What happened to being treated equally? It will never work as a one way street.

But then, people with any amount of sense know that.

Just so I understand: This fan's "white power" gesture isn't covered by the first amendment, while "black power" or other gestures are covered by the first amendment?

If they ban anyone flashing any gang signs, white power, black power, or other hand signs, then I'm OK with it. If they only ban certain signs, then I have questions about the consistency of their policy.

It's been debunked. You have to be a willing idiot to not come across that tidbit during the "investigation."

What the trolls who come up with this shit don't realize is the progressives don't care whether or not it is a real racist gesture. Either way it still helps to push their racists are everywhere agenda.

The trolls think they are being funny but are just doing the progressive's job for them.

You ever wonder why PC terms have changed so often through the years? It isn't just happenstance the left does it on purpose because they know it is impossible to keep up with all the changes. That people will fuck up and use the wrong term and then they can make a big deal out of it and create racism where there is none.
