The Washington Nationals have identified and banned at least one spectator after a banner promoting a white nationalist website was unfurled during Sunday's game at Nationals Park. The banner, which read 'Save America' and included a URL for a white nationalist site, was displayed in the outfield bleachers during the game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
A team spokesperson confirmed the ban, stating that the organization is cooperating with law enforcement to identify any other individuals involved. The Nationals condemned the banner as 'offensive and unacceptable' and emphasized that such behavior will not be tolerated at the ballpark.
The incident occurred amid heightened security and awareness of extremist symbols at public events. The team has not released the name of the banned individual but said the ban is permanent.
