Despite no proof of widespread election fraud and multiple refutes from Trump administration officials, some of former President Donald Trump's supporters are still under the delusion that Trump is the legitimate winner of the 2020 presidential election—and they're not being silent about it.
Dion Cini is one such supporter. Shortly after Major League Baseball season kicked off, Cini went to games at popular fields like Yankee Stadium in New York and Fenway Park in Boston. There, he hung flags saying "TRUMP WON," causing disruptions to the game.
Watch one instance below.
A couple fans at Yankee Stadium just unveiled a massive banner that reads \u201cTrump Won Save America.\u201d\npic.twitter.com/YZuo3tsd5n— Agent Brandoe The PipeHitter (@Agent Brandoe The PipeHitter) 1622180487
Cini has a well-documented history of brandishing Trump paraphernalia at bars in New York City, outside apartment buildings, and at both Disney World and Disneyland (he's banned from both theme parks for life).
On Sunday, Cini announced on Twitter that he'd been banned from all Major League Baseball events due to his outbursts.
Officially banned from the MLB. It was a good run! This letter is priceless. #TrumpWon #TrumpPride https://www.trump2024swag.com\u00a0pic.twitter.com/slmiKUdS5T— Dion Cini (@Dion Cini) 1624820476
The letter announcing the ban read in part:
"This activity is prohibited at each of these stadiums, and your fan code of conduct violations resulted in your ejection from each of them. A review of your public statements indicates that you intend to continue this behavior at other Major League Baseball stadiums, and that you are encouraging others to conduct themselves likewise. For these reasons, and effective immediately, you are hereby banned from all Major League Baseball stadiums and facilities, indefinitely."
But it may not come as a surprise that Cini is unrepentant, and is encouraging others to continue his demonstrations.
(Please share) MLB said i'm "encouraging others", they are correct. If you buy a https://YugeFlags.com\u00a0 flag, drop it at a MLB park, post pics & video, will refund 100%. First 10 gets it, starting now. And MLB, kiss my proud American white @$! #TrumpWon https://www.YugeFlags.com\u00a0pic.twitter.com/RdRXT1G3z1— Dion Cini (@Dion Cini) 1624885109
But the reception on social media hasn't been great.
Looks like it would be great to start a Yuge Bonfire with!!!! Only thing those flags are good for— David Garlock (@David Garlock) 1624904727

But Trump's delusional supporters, who often urge others to keep politics out of sports, heaped praise upon him.
It will continue! Thank you, @dioncini. GOAT!!!pic.twitter.com/mSlZMBDG5y— Red Pilled Deplorable \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Red Pilled Deplorable \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1624834333

It's possible Cini will continue his "flag drops" during games in leagues from which he isn't barred.
