I just saw your message on Twitter and would like to apologize for what I did. I had no idea what that symbol represents. I really hope this is not taken the wrong way at all. Im really really sorry. It’s been a game with the coach to try and get one another to look at the hand. Whoever looks at the hand loses. It’s an inside joke. Once again I’m not at all a Alt right supporter. Im a big support of BLM. Please I really hope that it is not taken the wrong way. There was zero intention of anything Malice.
I’m sorry but I really didn’t see the post. If I did and saw the hand gesture he made I would never do such a thing. The last thing I ever intended was to make any sort of racial gesture. The systemic issues going on in the states with inequality, the divide and the police corruption going on makes me sick to my stomach. The George Floyd killing, Breonna Taylor and the countless others are horrible and there needs to be a change. This was a learning moment and the last thing I ever wanted to do was the offend anyone. Once again I’m sorry for what I did.
@rolandgarros Did Marcos Giron just go full “White Power” after his match? @tennischannel @usta @ESPN @FrenchOpen @LeBatardShow @bomani_jones pic.twitter.com/uLMBZQSJX3

Hey @TennisChannel @rolandgarros , please ask #MarcosGiron about that hand sign he flashed to his box at the end of his match today. It was suspicious for many.

@Chanda_Rubin I'm pretty sure the hand gesture #Giron made at the end of his win was for white power. Why is no one talking about this?

It’s always a “game”. What are you, 5 years old? Also, please learn some GD punctuation.
Im not following, what is always a "game"?
@Sean: Read Marcos’s explanation.
Got it, thanks. Thought maybe it was directed at you. The response that "I didnt know what that meant" holds no water anymore.
Yeah, utter gaslighting bull crap. Does he live in a media free world?
just a question: isn't the WP gesture with the fingers pointing up?
His hand is in one of the more classic positions because you can shame the guy with "Are a f-g why you lokin' at my d--k?" and also give them a charlie horse.
BTW you all must of been very mature because that game was played well into HS around here in the 80's.
I doubt this was a "White Power" sign, as Marcos is Hispanic American.
@Jefe: Perhaps. But how do you explain George Zimmerman or Stephen Miller, for that matter.
Well even if he didn’t intend it, it IS a white power symbol so educate him.
This is stupid. Marco is a nice guy and the idea that he would be flashing a white power sign for even a second while cameras are all over him is stupid. Do you honestly think he would risk any of his endorsements especially after half of his tennis career has been spent rehabbing and overcoming injury? Look at any of his interviews he is a very kind and polite guy. There are definitely a couple of American men's tennis players that wouldn't surprise me (I'm looking at you Isner and Sandgren) but they also have a history of posting inflammatory tweets.
