Who was it who said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."? Oh yeah, a nazi propagandist. The Cubs organization has gone full lib-tard, believing bullshit and embracing their inner leftism:
- The Cubs said they are investigating an incident in which a fan sitting behind NBC Sports Chicago reporter Doug Glanville “more likely than not” used a racist gesture on air Tuesday night.
The fan used the gesture while Glanville, who is black, was making an on-air report during the Cubs’ 5-2 win over the Marlins. It’s been associated with white nationalists and right-wing trolls in recent years.
The Slum Times cites the Southern Poverty Law Center, itself credibly accused of racist practices in suppressing speech they don't agree with by invoking the dreaded "racism!" charge. They did the same thing with the Thin Blue Line flags/patches. They've also been successfully sued for their slanders.
The Slum Times wasted no time in slobbering all over the Cubs for their social justice warrior-ing:
The Slum Times wasted no time in slobbering all over the Cubs for their social justice warrior-ing:
- The Cubs did the right thing Wednesday by indefinitely banning a fan who’d made a hand gesture that team officials believe was intended to be seen on TV “in a racist way.”
The fan made the gesture on air behind NBC Sports Chicago reporter Doug Glanville, an African American, during the broadcast of Tuesday’s game against the Marlins. If the intent was to be racist, as it is when the gesture is used by white supremacists, that’s intolerable.
The Cubs didn't even pretend to "investigate" anything, but sent this fan a letter banning him from the park forever. Fine, it's private property, they can admit or ban anyone they want. But their statements as to why are suspect and very close to actionable - which is why they aren't identifying the fan.
The gesture in "question" is the OK sign. It's part of a game we played in grade and high school, commonly referred to as "The Circle Game." If you got someone to look at your hand when it was held below the waist, you got a free hit to the arm/shoulder. You can read about it here.
During the most recent presidential campaign, a group of Dark Web hackers and pranksters at a site called 4chan decided to begin a joke that claimed one of the most common hand signals in the world was now a symbol of a tiny group of malcontents. The media ate it up because it allowed them to criticize people associated with the Right as "racist." Even the Anti-Defamation League spotlighted the hoax.
But that isn't going to stop the Cubbies from "virtue signaling" that they're anti-racist now after the shellacking the elder Ricketts got for actual racist thoughts in a letter. Also, don't mention that they employ a wife-beater/abuser. They need a scapegoat.
Is the Slum Times going to criticize and ban this racist?
