Remember, this was just a joke.
From like 8 years ago.
People thought it would be funny to start calling the “A-OK” hand gesture a hate symbol.
It’s not clear if diving instructors have stopped using it.
BBC:
An athletic trainer for DC United, the MLS football club in Washington DC, has been fired for making a gesture that is considered by some to be a hate symbol.
The decision comes after the discovery of the “discriminatory hand gesture” in a post published on social media on Thursday, the team said in a statement.
The team did not identify the trainer.
The “A-OK” symbol is ancient. Probably, it existed before recorded history to symbolize that something is “A-OK.”
