A Chicago Cubs fan who appeared to flash a"white power" hand gesture behind a black sports reporter while he was on air has been banned from Wrigley Field.
The fan, who has not been identified, was"indefinitely" banned from Wrigley Field for violating the Chicago Cubs Guest Code of Conduct, the team's president of business operations, Crane Kenney, said in a"If he attempts to enter Wrigley Field or other ticketed areas he may be subject to prosecution for criminal trespass to property," the statement said.
"We find the behavior of this fan reprehensible and clearly does not represent the great Cubs fans of our city and those around the country," Cross said.
BarackObama and his babe Oprah agree.
So Whites can't go to a baseball game now how American of you.
Maybe take a better look at the entire video, kid doesn’t appear to be white...and it’s not a WP symbol!
Yeah that’s the big problem in Chicago
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Make bigotry unacceptable again!! Great move banning this guy!!
Cubs owner flashing the white power sign.
Good for them.
Not a hand signal. Now unidentified hands arent politically correct? SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN
Why do you keep looping this hate bait?
I thought Chicago didn't have white supremacists
If this guy was really doing this as a sign to support white supremacy. Why not report his name? Because it’s probably not true and those lawsuits due to defamation of character get expensive. Remember the Covington student?
Good. No one needs someone like that at Wrigley.
Good 4 them👏🏽👏🏽 no place 4 that!
How they gonna ban him from the stadium? Can he not just get a ticket off the street and walk in?
The making of a Sox fan
This is stupid
Where I live, that hand symbol is a game that mostly high school and college age kids play. The whole object of the game is to make you look at it, usually so they can punch you in the arm. I have never seen it represent any kind of power.
So when a black basketball player uses the exact same hand gesture its not 'A white supremacist' sign? Im so confused...😐
The media know me it was not the White Supremacist symbol...but they have to keep pushing that narrative. Sad that “journalism” has gotten to this point...I mean TMZ is more credible than the major news outlets.
Thank you Chicago!
That is ridiculous. He could of been playing the ultimate circle game with his buddies at home. We have no idea what is motives were for making that hand gesture. I can’t believe we have handed over a hand gesture done of decades for the white supremacists. What’s next?
Why do you keep tweeting this! It adds fuel to the fire!
It's not the awhite power symbol unless you allow it to become the White Power symbol.
It's definitely the Q sign. Racists will not win however. They always end up losing. Like in 1865 and 1955 BIGTIME.
The fact that y’all blur this out is ridiculous...
I got one! 🖕..the new “ok” sign!!
You people have lost your minds 👌
well ya don't say?!
Please publish his name. He's in public and has no right to claim privacy.
'A-Okay' is racist.
It's blurred? Really? Wow.
👌🏽
