Yeah pretty funny that the one media guy acting the most rational is Glanville himself.

I have a feeling the Brewers are going to be selling ALOT of the alternate MB/Glove hats.

I am extremely confused. I am a liberal who is against all forms of hate, but have never heard of the ok sign being used as a sign of racism.

Do they know this as a fact? Did the fan explain his side?

If it is and I am just naive and his intent was to spread hatred, he should be expelled from the park for all future games. No room for it.

Again I have never head of this and fear that this might have been taken of out context and we have another media runs wild virtue signaling what they want to believe.

Will wait for the fans side if they find him.

You know what's gonna happen, don't you?

Some college frat boys are gonna be at Cubs games. They're gonna try to find the camera and flash that sign as a group. Not that they're racist or even knew what it was before today. They'll do it cuz they're drunk and it will seem like a cool thing to do.

This is gonna happen all year long.

Forget Wrigley. This thing might sweep all MLB stadiums. All sports stadiums for that matter.

Fuck!!!!

Remember when life was easier? Like 3 years ago.

Then everything got fucking weird.

You are going to see that sign everywhere. And it will be huge. For every time one of the warriors cries another dumbass with the okay sign is born.

You know the answer. There are a lot of people who say "yes" to that. Some of them even purport to be smart, like Dan Bernstein. I wish we could meet him again. Maybe this time you wouldn't suck up to him.

I just cannot fathom how they can accurately interpret the intent of this man. I have a real hard time believing that this man at a baseball game thought to himself that I bet I can make a racial statement on TV.

The only person not doing the hand signal is the white guy in the middle, who is surrounded by minorities. That's probably another symbol of white supremacy.

DON'T @ JORR

What a dumb way to get banned. See ya

didn't do it wrong, but no he didn't admit to it either. Apparently he just didn't respond.

No but the gesture can be seen as 'probable cause' to do it in this case.

Very weird thread. I get in the context of 'chicago sports radio' that it is notable that The Score spent so much time on it so you can question the intensity of their reaction to it.

But the rationalizations some are making for this fan and the Cubs reaction to it are weird (or telling).

Like being so certain it was 'the circle game' yet then admitting you don't know the white power possibility. Then being informed of that, plus that this was done on television behind a black person (so not 'a game' with a pal in-person) but willfully ignoring that and saying "well are all ok hands bad I guess?!?!? wow!" Then learning that the Cubs found the guy was a racist on social media but then (like a lot of threads here) turns into 1) well white supremacy is bad but also so are other things hypocrisy much? or 2) actually white supremacy isn't bad

If the Cubs just saw the ok hand randomly on TV, 'rushed to judgement' and banned him, then yeah that would sure look to be overreach. But they saw it in the context it was done, researched the guy, approached him to respond (if it was an innocuous circle game he would maybe try to get out in front and plead innocent?), then took action.

Like maybe you all just want believe the good in people but it was a pretty quick rush to judge it as the circle game not knowing that sadly this white power (or triggering the libs in thinking it's white power, or whatever the fuck double-ironic bluff it is) is creeping back more mainstream

Time to take another few years away from this place, or at least confine it to complaining about McDoink's speech patterns

Not Reared you should stick around. I agree with that post. Not everyone is evil like Peeps.
