Joe Burrow threw the OK sign behind his back while doing the griddy TD celebration yesterday. Cancel Joe? Or have we moved past the cancellation insanity?

Uhhh, when was this? I legit don’t remember this.
MAGA rallies always had a nice contingency of racist weirdos. That marched around with the other Grateful Dead(MAGA) type followers. Also Camp Auschwitz’s was popular. They are usually small in number , but always present. And the racists seemed to get along with the supposed normal followers.

Ok, I just don’t remember the 6 million not enough stuff. Not saying it’s not true, just don’t remember it.
 
I had no idea the okay sign was a racist gesture. Since when?

Many discussions had here around the time of all the racist accusations surrounding the Iowa football program. People were seeing racists at every turn. Discussions were had at whether now holding up a three sign for three pointers was still ok. Another discussion was had about the circle game where you hold a circle sign on someone’s leg and punch them in the leg.

2019 Army Navy game caused a bit of a stir.

More made-up woke BS. There's nothing wrong with the "okay" sign.

For the same reason people created the stupid stuff in the first place.

Yeah, “made up”. Trad and others like him, how fuggin’ dumb are you?

My issue is these rallies are highly controlled. Any campaign wouldn’t allow those idiots anywhere near an event unless they were ok with it.
And as for individuals if I see crap like that I’m gone. Don’t want to be associated with it in anyway.

Well, it depends...the "OK" hand sign is a gesture with multiple meanings, and its interpretation depends heavily on situation, context, and intent:
  1. OK Symbol:
    Traditionally, the "OK" gesture is a global symbol signifying "everything is alright" or "agreement." It has Native American origins where similar hand gestures were used to signify approval or positive meaning in communication. Outside specific cultural or modern white supremacy contexts, it is often harmless and understood as its original intention.
  2. The Circle Game:
    The same hand sign is also associated with a popular game among military personnel and others, where the goal is to trick someone into looking at the circle made by your hand below the waist. If they look, the "trickster" gains a point or wins the game.
  3. White Supremacy Signal:
    The "OK" sign was co-opted as a hate symbol by white supremacist groups, beginning as a hoax on internet forums like 4chan to suggest it represented "WP" for "White Power." Over time, some individuals and groups genuinely adopted it as a symbol of their ideology.

Bro, both sides lol. I agree with you. It’s deplorable.
