‘Jeopardy!’ Former Contestants Demand Apology For Participant’s White Power Hand Sign

Quote

A group of 467 alleged former Jeopardy! participants issued an open letter on Medium Wednesday, demanding an apology from the show producers for not catching a "Jeopardy!” winner allegedly flashing a white power hand gesture.

"A recent contestant has caused concern among ‘Jeopardy!’ viewers for two separate occurrences, and we, as former contestants, feel the need to speak out against the messaging that these choices communicated — either intentionally or unintentionally — by the contestant Kelly Donohue and, implicitly by association, the producers of ‘Jeopardy!’” the story said.

On Tuesday, Donohue "held his thumb and forefinger together with his other three fingers extended and palm facing inward, and he tapped his chest.” Donohue claims he was indicating that he’d won three games, and had gestured with one finger and two fingers to indicate previous wins.

However, the third time was not the charm. The Medium story claimed the move was similar to a gesture used by white power groups, alt-right groups, and the anti-government Three Percenters.

"A couple of years ago, a contestant unintentionally wagered a monetary amount that used numerical values coopted by white supremacist groups and, since the total didn’t affect the outcome of the game, ‘Jeopardy!’ digitally altered the numbers in the version that aired,” the Medium letter claimed. "This should have been done in this case. Intentional or not, the burden was on the production team to catch the similarity to a hate symbol and make sure it didn’t end up on air.”

There were also complaints that Donahue used a slur against the Roma people on the Monday show.

The letter demanded "a statement and a disavowal of both of this week’s events.”

"We know that contestants sign morals and ethics-related agreements when they prepare to appear on the show, and we would ask the production team to evaluate this situation within that framework,” the letter concluded. "Finally, we hope to see changes made so that future mistakes of this magnitude never make it on air.”

Jeopardy! representatives have not yet issued a comment in response to the letter.

How does this thread slip to page 2. I think everyone is just getting numb to the insane ish the left comes up with on a daily basis.

Liberals are the dumbest people on the planet. :lol: :roll: 

I definitely feel like non-binary is just becoming a trendy thing for the New Left to show how woke they are. I feel like it started as a genuine attempt for gender-confused people to gain acceptance, but now it's almost like a status symbol. It's f***ing weird, and if I was someone who was genuinely transgender or nonbinary, I'd feel like all these celebrities creating a bandwagon is offensive, as it really cheapens the effort by reducing it to little more than a fashion statement.

Yeah, we live in a world where liberals have made it trendy to tell people they are gender non-binary and demand they refer to them using their own sets of pronouns. It's so trendy that even influential celebrities are getting in on the act. So, yeah, it's a little bigger than just Demi Lovato, you imbecile. Like I said, dumbest people on the planet. :lol: :roll:

Yeah but you made the only Demi Lovato related post we are likely to see in quite some time, you Fing moron. Do you have all her records? Or maybe a big poster of her on the wall of that basement room you live in? How does one even go about getting all this late breaking Demi Lovato news?

Yeah, like pop culture isn't a reflection of society as a whole and has absolutely no influence over anything. Leave it to boogeyman to come up with the smoothest brain take imaginable "well so what it's just Demi Lovato what do you have her album or something?" Just a complete and utter imbecile. :lol:

Well.  Facebook has almost 3 BILLION users.  If that is the first thing that pops up on a Facebook news feed, then yeah, it's kinda front page news.  Sorry if the pony express hasn't delivered your copy of today's Mayberry Times yet to see if it's on there.
