When will our society realize that ALL such messages are inherently racial and unacceptable.

I'm not sure what you're referring to in the first part.

I agree with the 2nd part.

Frankly, in ballgame99's case, I'd follow up with a message to the state and let them deal with it.

Google it. Isn't isn't an obscure reference.

My personal favorite was at an NHL game where someone held a sign up to the ref that said "Hey Dan. I think you're pregnant. You've missed two entire periods."

Completely not basketball related but hey. Points for creativity.

Although it is insensitive and politically incorrect, the above is a creatively funny way to negate the other sign.

That sign uses "gay" as an insult and a slur. It is unacceptable in our society, including at a sporting contest.
The correct answer is to stop the game and notify the game admin to have the sign removed. Sticking your head in the sand and thinking that this type of behavior is someone else's problem is not being a positive participant in progress and actually contributes to a continuance of the problem.

I knew the reference, but hadn't looked at the original story yet (my fault) to make the connection.
