Chance was not a happy camper in his hometown of Chicago recently. You wouldn’t believe what new polices “Whirlyball” set out for the people of Chicago.

Chance used to love going to Whirlyball…that is until new management came and added new attire polices. The new polices included no baggy clothing, no sleeveless shirts, hats worn “properly” etc; things that Chance perceived to be racist against black people.
Take a look at some of the tweets that were directed to the family venue.
Don't go to @WhirlyBall it's very inaccessible if you're black or friends with black people, they've clearly outlined in their dress code

Crazy how I was just treated at @whirlyball Been coming here for awhile, this new management doesn't know how to treat customers.

I thought for a sec that just the 1825 w Webster @WhirlyBall in Chicago felt this way but it's on the website. Sad end to a family place.

Did the security even know who he was? A man like Chance has a huge following especially in the Chi.
Whats to come of this? Whirlyball is either going to apologize and change its polices. Or they are going to reach to him (which they probably have) and try to settle the whole issue, while still keeping it polices up there.
My best advice would be to drop the policies. Theres no reason to enforce such a strict dress code, especially knowing what type of style certain races buy into. There’s no reason to perpetuate this “all people who sag their pants are thugs” stereotype. It’s 2016, people.
