At Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, New York, baseball fans were treated to an unexpected treat on Thursday. One fan unfolded a big banner that read “Trump Won,” referencing the former president’s statements about the results of the 2020 presidential election. The banner quickly caught the attention of the fans in their seats, who had quick responses to the surprise.
Security guards at the stadium promptly swarmed the location, taking down the banner and escorting the men responsible for the banner outside the premises. However, several members of the audience had already captured footage of the banner on camera, which led to an uproar on Twitter regarding the same matter. The issue drew the attention of both the Yankee fans and reporters such as Lindsay Adler.
The unveiling of this banner came as a shock to the Yankee fans, as New York is largely against Trump, despite it being his hometown. Having grown up in Queens, New York, one would expect most Trump supporters to be from his hometown, but that was not the case. Trump had to relocate to Florida, where a majority of his supporters reside. Trump fans, on the other hand, contended that they should be permitted to distribute the banner’s message during MLB games, as MLB had decided to involve itself in politics, and the unveiling of the trump banner was just an expression of their opinion. However, the banner’s removal came as a joy to most people.
