Wisconsin Bans Fan Caught on Video Making Anti-Asian Gesture at Northwestern Fans

The University of Wisconsin announced Thursday that a fan who made a racist anti-Asian gesture toward the Northwestern student section during a men's college basketball game between the teams at Evanston's Welsh-Ryan Arena has been banned from all future events.

The fan was ejected after making the gesture and made it again as he was escorted away from his seat:
