Oakland A’s coach Ryan Christenson has some explaining to do.
After today’s A’ss game against the Texas Rangers, Christenson was seen appearing to do the Nazi salute. A’s closer Liam Hendricks noticed the salute and immediately pulled Christenson’s arm down.

Update: Christenson released a statement and said he “unintentionally” did something that looked like the Nazi salute.

Fans were not with Christenson and immediately called for the coach to be fired.
Hey here is @Athletics bench coach Ryan Christenson throwing a nazi salute up not once but twice. Any updates on this, @AthleticsPR? Y'all cool with this kind of behavior or…??? https://t.co/mvmKO5WI8C

Ryan Christenson should be thrown out of baseball for good, immediately. Good for Liam Hendriks for taking down his Nazi salute. Kidding or not, there is ZERO place for that. https://t.co/TyeEMAn20Z

Gotta love when people just do the white supremacist/power shit because "it's funny". They don't think it's funny, they believe that stuff. #GrewUpInAPlaceWhereItStillHappens https://t.co/5OsYPMh5UI

Ryan Christenson should never work another MLB game.
