Is he 5 years old? How does he not know that’s the Nazi salute? FIRE HIM

He did the salute twice. Fire the Nazi.

Everyone stop whining and grow up.

Uh huh. I watched the video. I don't buy it.

MLB Apology not accepted‼️ Deplorable team - no character or respect. What will you do? If cheaters Astro get no punishment - what do Nazi get?

Isn’t it about the same as the black power salute.

I guess ppl just don’t think! How stupid!
