The Nationals have quickly identified and banned at least one fan involved in unfurling a sign advertising a white nationalist website during Sunday's game at Nationals Park. In a statement provided to The Athletic, the Nationals state that they "vehemently condemn discriminatory and hateful rhetoric, and we strive to make our home field a safe space for our fans."
The inciting incident took place during the team's daily "Salute to Service" honoring veterans and those currently serving in the military. A banner was displayed in the upper deck down the first base that called to "save America" by deporting over 100 million.
