I never really hated the Cubs, but damn, this is a good reason to start
A major sports franchise is listening to an extremist 1% of the social media universe and making real-world decisions based on it.
Unreal.

Hell, this message board has proven that time and time again.

It is unreal comical that this ever got turned into something racist.
This is the most perfect example of how much people will reach so hard their arm comes out of socket for something to be racist

Isn't Milo married to a black dude? I suppose only when he is away from his black lover does he flash his white power sign?
Birdbox indeed.

Also, I highly recommend you read some of the leaked emails between him and his associates if you think he is a pristine individual.

I'm starting to feel like they did this to cover up the talk of bringing Addison Russell back to the squad after his suspension for domestic abuse

He's opportunistic and a product of the outrage machine. The timeline of his rise and fall is somewhat hilarious. Hell, it's been less than three years since he had a packed house at LSU.

Absolutely. I enjoyed his blatant trolling a few years ago but it got out of control and just plain bad

Appropriately, we’ve made clear how egregious and unacceptable that behavior is, and there’s no place for that in society, in baseball, and Wrigley Field. The person responsible for that gesture will never be welcomed back at Wrigley Field.”

Chicago Cubs? More like the Chicago cucks amirite?

It certainly does not have the ubiquitousness of well known white power "symbols" like three sets of parentheses enclosing text. It is not unusual for the white power movement to use rather anodyne symbols as seen with 14 and 88. Is an e-commerce website with prices that all end in 88 a white power enterprise or just a Chinese guy's website that is looking for some luck in sales.
It’s probably neither. I never heard of this one just like I hadn’t heard of the ok symbol deal until internet trolls pushed it on anyone making it in pictures.
You have too much time on your hands. It’s like people looking for Illuminati or 9/11 truthers. Ending in 88 used to be a nation wide American company’s way to price discontinued or open box product back at least 20 years ago. Another had multiple endings to let employees know why something was priced a certain way including again if it was discontinued or open box starting even further back and if it included extra money in paycheck to sell to make up for margin lost due to reduction in price. I don’t think it’s a Chinese or white power exclusive. It’s a very narrow focus in life to always focus on the how a small amount of people use things instead of how most people do. It’s worse to use this as the only justification to ban people. I don’t have time to keep up with all the created things people are getting offended by and don’t think most of the people the left are trying to protect from getting offended keep up either.

It's not like you can't ever go back for a game.
I would imagine you could still have your "banned" name slip through the cracks and get season tickets

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?
That's what they're saying up here anyways

what's next? the two fingers in a v peace sign is racist?
