People started playing Marlins for the ‘Trump Won’ and ‘Proud Boys’ signs – NBC 6 South Florida
Several people were kicked out of the Miami Marlins game on Tuesday night after hanging signs supporting the Proud Boys and Donald Trump.
Several photos showed the huge signs reading “Trump Won – Take Back America” and “Proud Boys Did Nothing Wrong – Free All Political Prisoners 1/6/21” deployed during the game as the Marlins played against the Colorado Rockies at LoanDepot Park.

A team spokesperson confirmed that at least five people were ejected from the stadium after the signs violated the stadium’s rules on banner sizes and messages.
By Marlins guidelines, signs or banners cannot exceed 3’x5 ‘and cannot be political.
The team spokesman said the stadium also had a policy requiring transparent bags, so it is not known how the signs were brought into the park.
Members of the Proud Boys describe themselves as a politically incorrect men’s club for “Western chauvinists.”
More than two dozen leaders, members and associates of the far-right group were indicted in the January 6 riot on the United States Capitol, which interrupted the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory over President Trump in the 2020 elections.
