Chicago Cubs Ban Fan For Racist Gesture At Wrigley Field

Chicago: The Chicago Cubs, an American professional baseball team, on Thursday banned a fan till further notice for making an alleged racist gesture at Wrigley Field here.

“After a review of last night’s broadcast footage, we concluded this individual’s actions violated the guest code of conduct,” a Chicago Cubs statement was quoted as saying by BBC.

“As a result, after repeated attempts to reach this individual by phone, we sent a letter to the individual notifying him of our findings and our decision that, effective immediately, he will not be permitted on the grounds of Wrigley Field or other ticketed areas indefinitely.”

During Chicago Cubs’s 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, former Chicago Cubs player Doug Glanville, who is black, was working as an on-field reporter when a fan was seen making a gesture behind Glanville’s back. IANS
