467 former Jeopardy contestants demand apology after being triggered by recent contestant

A group of 467 alleged former Jeopardy! participants issued an open letter on Medium Wednesday, demanding an apology from the show producers for not catching a “Jeopardy!” winner allegedly flashing a white power hand gesture.
“A recent contestant has caused concern among ‘Jeopardy!’ viewers for two separate occurrences, and we, as former contestants, feel the need to speak out against the messaging that these choices communicated — either intentionally or unintentionally — by the contestant Kelly Donohue and, implicitly by association, the producers of ‘Jeopardy!’” the story said.
On Tuesday, Donohue “held his thumb and forefinger together with his other three fingers extended and palm facing inward, and he tapped his chest.” Donohue claims he was indicating that he’d won three games, and had gestured with one finger and two fingers to indicate previous wins.
However, the third time was not the charm. The Medium story claimed the move was similar to a gesture used by white power groups, alt-right groups, and the anti-government Three Percenters.
“A couple of years ago, a contestant unintentionally wagered a monetary amount that used numerical values coopted by white supremacist groups and, since the total didn’t affect the outcome of the game, ‘Jeopardy!’ digitally altered the numbers in the version that aired,” the Medium letter claimed. “This should have been done in this case. Intentional or not, the burden was on the production team to catch the similarity to a hate symbol and make sure it didn’t end up on air.”
There were also complaints that Donahue used a slur against the Roma people on the Monday show.
The letter demanded “a statement and a disavowal of both of this week’s events.”
“We know that contestants sign morals and ethics-related agreements when they prepare to appear on the show, and we would ask the production team to evaluate this situation within that framework,” the letter concluded. “Finally, we hope to see changes made so that future mistakes of this magnitude never make it on air.”

All of them are idiots. Why do these people get so triggered. I don't care what someone calls me. Maybe I should start getting more triggered so I can fit in and have something to cry about and dye my hair blue.

this nerdy white dude is fixing his tie.

Because they thrive on controversy, divisiveness, and manufactured victimization.
FWIW, I watched him all three days.
I’m a huge Jeopardy! dork.
The guy was a harmless, good ol’ New Englander from Mass.
He literally answered a question about lobsters with the classic, “lobstah.”
Guy covertly signed his name with a Sharpie behind the wall at Fenway Park (where players have signed for decades) and gave his wife a steam cleaner for Christmas one year (a mistake not to be repeated).
One of the rare Jeopardy! contestants who didn’t make you want to punch him in his liberal face.
I despise this country more with each passing second.

This could turn out to be the biggest “made you look” ever.

There is no white power symbol. He was showing up the number of times he had won - 3.
.
This is nothing to apologize for.

Its amazing how stupid these people are. The whole world knows this isn't a white power sign, the whole world knows leftists were duped by internet trolls into believing otherwise, but leftist morons just keep doubling down on it.
