Media falsely accuses Army and Navy Cadets of flashing white power symbols

Here we go again with the smears against the fine men and women who serve the United States.

Left-wing mainstream media publications were quick to falsely accuse a group of Army and Navy cadets on Saturday of flashing “white power” signs as the two service academies squared off on the gridiron in what is an intense football rivalry.

Mike Brehm over at USA Today reported:

Questions erupted during the Army-Navy game in Philadelphia when students appeared to make the White Power hand symbol during a pregame broadcast.

Spokespersons from the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy told USA TODAY Sports they have been made aware of the issue – which blossomed on social media as the game wore on – and the schools are looking into it.

Far-left activists also posted close-up videos of television screens showing what they ridiculously claimed was the cadets flashing the white power sign.

As an American,
As a Navy Dad,
As a decent human being…

…you hate to see racist West Point cadets emboldened by the presence of the Racist-inChief at an #ArmyNavyGame to throw up the “White Power” sign on national TV.

Disgusting. pic.twitter.com/4LbB5Veoa7

Let’s make them go viral. Retweet.

This happened on national television today. These two felt like it was okay to put up a white power symbol on national tv. Mind you, they are apart of the navy. #ArmyNavy pic.twitter.com/SdkCTJ0vhK

Many pushed back against the claim noting that the cadets were playing the “circle game.”

Former senior White House adviser Cliff Sims wrote: “Here we go again. This time it’s @ByMikeBrehm of @usatodaysports trying to ruin the lives of cadets for playing the circle game, because in some alternate reality they just MUST be white supremacists. At some point someone’s gotta bring a defamation case against these lunatics.”

Sports analyst Clay Travis tweeted: “Good lord. They were playing the circle game. America has gone insane.

Curt Schilling weighed in saying: “This is just idiotic. It’s a bunch of guys playing the circle game about 10 years after their friends all stopped. But ya, let’s make it out to be racist, since everything else you see and hear is as well.”

This is just typical of the left. Funny that they made NO accusations when these three constantly threw up the OK sign.
