The OK sign at ball games?SouthernIslander wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 6:09 pm https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/15/us/o ... power.html
I read the whole article before commenting. So now we are investigating white people for simply throwing the OK sign at a ball game?
WTF.
Ive never seen that. And I’ve been a baseball fan for decades.
I kinda think that sign indicates white supremacy .
Racism and anti semitism are on the rise again. They’re enabled.
It’s okay again. Unfortunately.
So distressing.

These guys were being stupid and just playing “the game” we did it in high school and apparently it’s still going on. I knew it was because the teens I work with do it. This time is wasn’t racism it was just them being dumb.

Sorry.
I saw you mention only ball games in your reply.
Years ago the “ okay” sign everywhere meant Okay .
Now days , not so sure anymore.

Unless someone shows a pattern of racism, I am not calling people racist over the OK sign.GMa4all wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 11:52 amOhSouthernIslander wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 11:48 amI’ve seen OK signs everywhere. I wasn’t talking about just ball games.

It doesn’t take a sign or nitpicking for me to pick up on it anyway.
And you’re fine, no apologies needed.

"The game" is to punch someone after you trick them into looking at the sign when you flash it below your waist. What is the point or objective of doing it on tv?hockeymom87 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 8:16 pmThese guys were being stupid and just playing “the game” we did it in high school and apparently it’s still going on.

Fun game
Do you know why he did that? to help perpetuate the hoax. He had multiple trolling references in his manifesto too. including saying candace owens inspired him. He said it because he knew the media would report on it seriously.jessilin0113 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 5:41 pmhockeymom87 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 12:50 pmPeople do it in pictures too.
