The Bronx’s Yankee Stadium was ablaze with fury after some people hung up an enormous banner that pushed the voter fraud narrative of former president Donald Trump.
During the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays game, the sign falsely claimed that “Trump Won” the election of 2020. The sign also made a call to action for people to “Save America”.
Alas, the display came to a swift end. Security at Yankee Stadium confiscated the banner and kicked the people responsible out.
Several videos online show the incident from different angles.
Some people in the socially distanced stadium could be heard booing, flipping the middle finger, and what appears to be a bodycam video from the people involved.
Naturally, social media users were quick to comment on the matter. Check out what they had to say.

Someone literally paid money to roll out a “Trump Won” flag at Yankee Stadium.

First time back at yankee stadium, my second home, since before the pandemic. Someone tried to hang a “trump won” sign over the bleachers, got booed into the ground, garbage thrown at them, then handcuffed and escorted out. Lolllllll what a day to be back

Some people believe that Trump's public praise is awesome and that the election was stolen from him.
Got to love those Yankee Fans.

Although residents of Trump's hometown in New York seemed to dislike him, this isn't the first time that a supportive banner has been spotted at a ball game.
During a Yankees versus Kansas City Royals game in July 2018, Trump supporters hung a "Trump 2020" banner, which was met with boos and cheers.
In May 2018, Rudy Giuliani— the former New York City Mayor and Trump lawyer—was met with countless boos at Yankee Stadium's Memorial Day game when his 74th birthday was announced to people at the game.
In Thursday's games, the Toronto Blue Jays won the first game 2-0, and the Yankees won the second game 5-3.
