...but since none of them will ever get dates...or admitted into college... perhaps this is just as well....since it takes little education to say Welcome to McDonalds

Let's hope the OP can be amended?

Unfortunately, the other interpretation is ALL over twitter by now.

And so the available explanations are: "OK" "Asshole" or "White Power". And in the context of MAGA this weekend, the simplest explanation can easily be "White Power."

Unless you are a basketball fan.

And the three pt shot has been around for over 30yrs in college and high school. It’s not like it was just adopted

...there are many millions of people who haven't watched a basketball game ever with enough attention to be curious about hand signs.

Certainly it never occurred to me. Haven't seen basketball since jr high and that was many a moon ago. Even then, I wouldn't have been watching hand signs. I would have been giggling with my friends in the bleachers.

Not everyone watches basketball.
