Looks like the guy that did it is actually a light skinned African American. Cubs will want this to go away without further comment if possible. What an over reaction.

I read on Twitter (can't link now sorry) that the Cubs found the guy, he is a season ticket holder, and they have suspended him from the stadium.

Someone please verify this is true. I hope it is.

The Chicago Cubs are looking into an incident during Tuesday night’s game in which a fan flashed a potentially racist hand sign behind NBC Sports’ Doug Glanville during a live report. The individual, realizing he was in the background of the shot, gave a peace sign before forming a circle with his left hand. The upside down “OK” is sometimes associated with white supremacy. It’s also how you play the dumb Circle Game where the viewer gets punched if he looks at the gesture.


That's all I could find, it's stupid, REALLY STUPID!!

People that constantly cry racism need to be locked up for a year and re educated .

Did he not stop to think about the shear number of people he now has to hunt down and punch?!

True story:

When my brother came back from Iraq the first time he told me one of the funnest things to do in Iraq was giving Iraqis the "OK" sign. He said they would go into convulsions and do some ritual to get it off of them. He said they called it 'The evil eye"

“We reached the conclusion that it's more likely than not that this person was using that hand signal as a racist way of interfering with everyone's enjoyment of the game,” Kenney told WSCR-AM 670 Wednesday morning. “That investigation has almost reached its conclusion. We’ll have more to say about that in a little bit. We'll be taking action as a result.”

Kenney said the Cubs learned of the incident via social media. After the game, team officials met and sent out the news release.

Although the sign the fan made also has been associated with something more benign called “the circle game,” Kenney said the Cubs are unconvinced that’s the proper context.

Crane Kenney is a fricking idiot and the Ricketts should have shown him the door with all the other holdovers from the Tribune/Zell regime. Why they kept this dickless wonder is beyond me.
