Heard about the fan getting banned. Never heard of this game or gesture in my life. Maybe I live under a rock. But if Heyward is shown doing that same gesture, there seems to be some hypocrisy there.

I've never heard of the game. But the white supremacy thing I have. What Heyward was doing is the normal "ok" gesture which is not bad. He didn't do it upside down.

I very well could be the one under a rock as well. I had just never heard if the symbol having racist connotations. Naturally, I Googled after the story at Wrigley broke. I recently looked at the Anti-Defamation League website and looked into it:
Their recommendation in paragraph 5 is not at all how the Cubs handled it. I did not see anything stating the upside down version (same version used in the "circle game") was the worse of the two. The way the ADL explained the 'WP' within the symbol, if done upside down, the 'W' becomes an 'M'.
I don't know....I guess it just has a weird feeling to it all.

It's not a racist symbol assholes. Unless an alien from another planet that doesn't have an asshole does the sign, then by all means ban the mother f'cker. An upside down ok sign means your an asshole. Buutt(no pun intended) The asshole that made the sign may be trying to harass the team. Such small things done over and over starts grating on your nerves, next thing ya know your out gun shopping for an unregistered. So Theo probably did a good thing by banning the loser before someone got what was coming to them.
Big walk off HR by Willson! These guys keep doing it in dramatic fashion. Glad to finally get a W against Milwaukee and hope to win the rubber match today.
Kinda wild. Of all the sports marriages I've ever known of, the Zobrists seemed like the ones that would likely pull off the long haul.
But that also means Juliana is single...
Maybe she's not single, and that's the reason for the Divorce?>LOL
I thought lawyers would handle a Divorce, so he can still play?
He’s a very religious guy. Might be struggling with it for a variety of reasons. Maybe it’s the kids and he feels he needs to be there for them. Who knows. None of us will know. Just hope it ends well and he’s back soon.
2 or 3 games under .500 since Zobrist went on leave and he's been gone for a month. 11 blown saves this year. Do we even have 11 actual recorded saves? But ya know, let's sign Carlos fucking Gonzalez.cuz that's where we need help
I'm also a bit concerned that 99% of runs scored for what seems every game the last 3-4 weeks have come from solely from the long ball. I saw a stat last night that mentioned the Cubs had 4 hits with RISP in yesterday's game. They had 4 total in their previous 3 games against St. Louis - and the kicker is only one of those four even produced a run. That's fucking terrible.
Cubs a favorite to add Kimbrell! Now this is good news. Add Kimbrell, maybe get Marrow back. Go into the playoffs with Cishek in the 6th, Strop 7th, Marrow 8th and Kimbrell in the 9th. Edwards Jr. shining bats and restocking Bazooka bubble gum.
