Cubs finish investigation of racist hand gesture on TV, ban fan from Wrigley

A Cubs fan who flashed a hand gesture associated with white supremacists has been banned for life by the Cubs in the latest incident that shines a light on Wrigley Field’s longstanding reputation for racist behavior.
After a daylong investigation Wednesday, the Cubs found the fan who used the gesture behind NBC Sports Chicago reporter Doug Glanville during Tuesday’s broadcast. Team president of business operations Crane Kenney says the fan, who was not publicly identified by the Cubs, will be banned from Wrigley Field.

The bearded fan, who was wearing a grey Cubs sweatshirt and blue bottoms, held an upside-down “OK” sign — which has been associated with white nationalists — behind Glanville’s head before the broadcast cut to a graphic.
While the gesture has also been used as part of the “circle game,” in which someone tries to trick a friend into looking at them making a similar hand gesture, Kenney said on 670 The Score that team officials met and decided it was more likely the gesture was used in a “racist way.”

My kids play neck all day every day with that hand signal. Flash it below your waist and you get to slap the person on the neck who looks at it.
It’s a fricking kid game

Lol, society is such a pathetic joke in today’s world. Dude is clearly signaling he just drained a 3 pointer. Or better yet, he’s giving a shoutout to Leonard Fournette “BugaNation”.

One would assume the Cubs have some people in charge who have some modicum or intelligence and management ability. So why doesn’t someone around the conference table point out how stupid this statement sounds?

Hopefully the guy will stop being a Cubs fan, and the world will be a slightly better place.
