Exile Games: The Chicago Cubs Ban a Fan For Playing the Circle-Punch Game

People say this game was created by Malcolm in the Middle, but my (possibly fallible) memory tells me it predates that.

I'm sure you know the game. You make a circle with your forefinger and thumb and you place it somewhere just out of the view of the person you're playing with (though that person doesn't know he's playing until he's told he's playing). You put the circle on your belt, on the table, on a cork-board you pretend you want him to check out.

If he looks at the circle, he loses, and you either tell him he's lost or -- the manlier version -- you get to punch him in the shoulder.

Literally everyone knows this game but the vicious godless Satanic Puritans have decided that a circle made with the finger and thumb is now a White Power symbol because 4chan pranksters hoaxed them into thinking it was and now have a zero tolerance policy for the circle game, and the normal "OK" sign.

A guy at a Cubs game played the circle game with all the viewers watching it.

He's now banned for life.

The point is we don't know for sure, but what we do know for sure is the okay hand gesture, and this is significant, ISN'T RACIST AT ALL, it's an internet meme designed to mock false accusations of racism.

The idea that the okay sign -- which is used by people all over the world to signify that things are okay, celebrate three point shots, and also make you look if it's flashed below the waist -- is a symbol of white supremacists grew out of the dark corners of the Internet as a prank.

The prank has now become so successful that mainstream media organizations like MSNBC have now bought into the idea that the okay sign is a white supremacy sign and are, and I can't believe this is real life, NOW BLURRING THE OKAY SIGN IN THEIR REPORTING.

Here's the uncensored video of the "incident." (And now I can't believe I just said that here's an "uncensored" view of an OK sign.)

Here's the CENSORED version appearing on MSNBC:

The Cubs banned this guy without even talking to him.

Quick, someone link me David French and Baseball Cuck explaining how benevolent our Corporate Overlords are and how actual living breathing citizens are inferior in rights to the legal fictions called corporations.

Bonus: From Jane D'Oh -- can we ban this Stuttering Fuck for life, too?
