yeah nobody is saying it doesn't exist. i just think we all recognize that 99% of its usage is the OK sign, a 3 pt field goal has been made, or the circle game.

Yes, he is.

Or, perhaps there is more than one meaning?

1. He did nothing illegal. That sign isn't illegal. Actually, being a racist isn't illegal either.

2. If they question him and he claims he didn't know the meaning of the sign, what the hell can the Cubs do?

3. What if the Cubs find out his name and ask to question him and he says "Fuck You". They're not authorities. He's a private citizen. They can't go to his house and bust open the door. They can't water board him for answers.

These are good questions, but I think you're focusing on the wrong area. I didn't see the hand gesture, and I'm not offering any opinion on whether or not it was racist, but the Cubs are not the government: they don't owe you a right to free speech, they don't owe you a right to due process, and they can exclude you from their property for virtually any reason. Unless of course they are excluding someone solely because of their race, national origin, etc. The bottom line is that if the Cubs want to get rid of him, they can get rid of him.

Holmes was literally screaming at a caller about this. "Maybe it's time you change your behavior because this has been co-opted by white nationalists! Don't get mad at me. Get mad at them."

So if white nationalists claim something they own it, and that's that?

assuming by trader you mean slave trader

Once again I don’t think the outrage is that high to warrant such an over reaction by the Cubs and their radio station.

Larry was scheduled to have Doug G on as a guest. Larry was blubbering hysterically about the incident. Switched it off.

You’ve got a 50,000 watt radio station , a major sports teams corporate structure and thousands “outraged” people on social media looking for this guy to dox him. . College kids. No big deal . Not to mention that someone, anyone in the Cubs organization might want to take a step back from this and say “ guys let’s take a minute” considering what happened in that very stadium to Steve Bartman

I really don’t think there is even a thousand people outraged. Not even close.

Or, if you are a trader, it means quantity three (if you do it sideways, it means eight).

I don't even think there are a thousand Score listeners that knew what that symbol supposedly meant before 9am today!

THEY FOUND HIM AND HES RACIST !!!!

Years ago, when I served my time in the floor, my future wife would get mildly irritated with me when I used the hand singles instead of words as it was just ingrained that it was just natural.

Here's the most important question that nobody is asking. Is Tim Anderson allowed to call this Cubs fan a "N****R?

This is why it is vital to look for past tweets by this guy to know what is truly in his heart.

I understand that. But I want Crane Kenny to ban Bernstein for his sexist tweet. If he doesn't, it means that the Cubs hate women and support sexism.

WSCR usually lets something like this dominate their programming. Every time I flipped on AM1000 today they were talking about something other than this.
