By now, most people have already seen this “Chase Utley loves ISIS” sign that made an appearance before Game 3 of the Dodgers-Mets game. But what you probably don’t know is that the sign — made by 22-year-old Ashleigh Culpepper — was actually confiscated by security.

Ashleigh had an interesting response as to why security seized her sign (via the NY Post):
The sign, which actually used a “heart” drawing for loves, was confiscated by Citi Field security after she got inside Monday night.
Culpepper was annoyed but gave a frank explanation.
“My guess is Isis doesn’t want to be associated with Chase Utley,” she said, calling him, “my least favorite player ever.”
Damn. Ashleigh’s all-in on her Chase Utley-ISIS comparison, and we commend her for it. Though we are kind of shocked that the PC Twitter police haven’t gotten involved to condemn Ashleigh for what some might call blatant insensitivity.
