In fact, KKK has a completely different meaning for baseball fans.

@Imani_zamasing A K is a strikeout. The fans count strikeouts with K signs. At that moment the pitcher had 3 strikeouts. That is all

In this easily offended and sensitive society, it seems baseball fans even forgot their own lingo during the the Cubs-Indians Game 7.

Wait, What’s That KKK Sign Doing at the #WorldSeries?https://t.co/T6r5zodoMN (VIDEO) https://t.co/tiIiLAE3Nj

Wondering why Fox would show the KKK sign with Chapman pitching in bottom of the 8th? Seriously! #WorldSeriesGame7 #WorldSeries pic.twitter.com/mRX6FLEEUQ

@McMahonFirebird K = strikeout. Have you ever watched a baseball game in your life? And did you see any people w/ white hoods in the crowd?

@Imani_zamasing jesus christ in baseball a K is a strike out. they hang a K every strikeout. stop being offended by EVERYTHING.

— Chris Kraemer (@kraemer_chris) November 3, 2016

@Imani_zamasing they hang a “K” when home pitcher records a strikeout. They do it in almost every stadium. Get some baseball knowledge, jeez

#WorldSeries inadvertently proved 2 things…

1) Leftists don’t seem to watch sports
2) They see racism everywherehttps://t.co/yta1tHJzdN
