When the official broadcast of Germany's opening game against Curaçao cut pregame to show the team of video review analysts, Evans, who is from Australia, made an "OK" symbol with his right hand in front of his right leg.

The gesture -- with thumb and forefinger touched in a circle and other fingers outstretched -- has been associated with white supremacy, and in 2019, it was designated a hate symbol by the New York-based Anti-Defamation League.

Didn't they try to ruin some guys life over accusing him of this at Wrigley or somewhere in the last 10 years?

According to the website Know Your Meme, as a prank, 4chan users in 2017 launched a campaign to flood social media with posts linking the "OK" hand gesture to the white power movement. Commenters on the message board appropriated images of people posing in the White House and other locations making the hand symbol as proof that it was catching on.

If it’s held below the waist, it’s the circle game. Not sure if that’s also racist.

My friends and I have played that since college, and still try to do it sometimes to this day. Good times.
