Nationals ban individual who displayed white nationalist sign at home game

WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals have identified and banned at least one individual from Nationals Park after he unfurled a sign during Sunday’s game that directed fans to a white nationalist website and called for the deportation of “100+ million,” according to a team spokesperson.An usher attempted to confiscate the banner soon after it was unfurled in the upper deck down the first-base line, but the three individuals holding onto the sign pulled it back before eventually fleeing the premises, according to a team spokesperson. The incident occurred during the team’s daily “Salute to Service,” which honors veterans and military personnel and is held before the fourth inning.Advertisement
