Last week, No. 23 Navy crushed Army, 31-7 as it wasn’t much of a game at all as Navy showed why they’re a top 25 team in the nation. RB Malcolm Perry was a monster in the running game as he had 29 rushes for 304 yards and two touchdowns.
What’s overshadowing Navy’s win though is cadets at the game throwing up hand signs that are a clear form of supporting white supremacy as the sign formed “white power.” Three cadets were seen on videos with these signs. According to TMZ Sports though, West Point doesn’t believe this was the case at all as they’re labeling the situation as a “misplaced joke.”
An investigation was launched soon after the three cadets were seen flashing the symbol on camera but now, West Point continues to deny the obvious symbol and what it means. They simply think that there’s nothing there to prove that that they were showing any hateful views.
“There is no evidence that [the cadets] hold any racist of white supremacist views or attempted to communicate such messages by using the ‘OK’ hand gesture on national television. All three cadets also deny any intention of their okay gesture having a meaning associated with white supremacy ideology or any other movement/ideology that is contrary to the Army Values.”
