WASHINGTON -- The Nationals identified at least one person who will be banned from the ballpark after a banner promoting a white nationalist website was unfurled in the crowd during Sunday's game.
A team spokesperson also said the Nationals are coordinating with District of Columbia police on an investigation.
In addition to the website, the banner also included a call to "SAVE AMERICA" and "DEPORT 100+ MILLION" before it was quickly taken down.
"The Washington Nationals vehemently condemn discriminatory and hateful rhetoric, and we strive to make our home field a safe space for our fans," the team said in a statement.
The team's policy on banners and signs mostly requires that they be related to baseball, with some allowances for messages about the broadcasting entity or birthdays, anniversaries and "similar family-friendly greetings."
