Chicago White Sox Accidentally Turn Rainy Game into Klan Rally

Look, we get it. The Chicago White Sox wear white uniforms. The Chicago White Sox care about their fans, who will sit through rain and snow and sleet to watch their beloved baseball team play. The Chicago White Sox will, therefore, do the nice thing and give their fans ponchos during a rainy game.

But we’ll be damned if the poncho-wearing fans at the July 3rd game against the Los Angeles Angels didn’t look like a terrible KKK rally:

Then again, any other color would make it look like the Sox fans are wearing garbage bags or giant condoms, so it’s a Catch-22. A Catch-22 of racism.
