“I made a mistake and will not deny it. I greeted the players with an offensive gesture,” Christenson admitted. “In today’s world of covid, I adapted our elbow clash, which we do after the victories, to create some distance with the players.”

“Without intent, my gesture resulted in a racist and horrible greeting that I don’t believe in,” he said. The Athletics also condemned their coach’s action, describing it as a “gesture that looked like a Nazi salute.”  “We don’t support or forgive this gesture or the racist sentiment behind it,” the franchise said. “This is incredibly offensive, especially in these times when we as a club and so many others are working to expose and address racial inequalities in our country,” he added. “We deeply regret that this has happened on our field of play.” You may be interested: LMP: Dustin Crenshaw would not play this year with AlgodonerosElina Svitolina and Kiki Bertens will not attend the US Open before pandemicLionel Messi, Barcelona lighthouse to try to raise the Champions League
