A Chicago White Sox fan carrying a 'Sell the team' sign was asked to give it up by security during a game against crosstown rivals, the Chicago Cubs. In a bizarre incident, the security guards stopped their plea just as the game got over, and the fan was allowed to keep it.

Chicago White Sox fans seemed to have had enough of one of the worst seasons of all time in the MLB. They are fed up with the organization and the ownership, and that has clearly shown, as over the last few days, 'Sell the team' chants have increased at Guarantee Rate Field.

It was no surprise that a few fans also showed their displeasure in the form of signs. Dan Cos Sox tweeted to detail his experience in fighting to keep his sign against the security.

He said that the security guards wanted to snatch away his sign but upon resistance they waited until the end of the game and let him be. It suggests the organization's tactics in keeping a clean PR so that nothing negative is displayed against Jerry Reinsdorf's ownership.

"They never got my sign," Dan wrote on Twitter.

Here's the video:

"Literally when the game was over, these security guards quit," the user added as an update.

White Sox headed for the worst season in MLB in modern era

After getting swept by the Cubs, the White Sox hold a 29-91 record. They will easily eclipse the franchise record for most losses in a season, which came in 1970 when the team lost 106.

They are also on track for recording the most losses in an MLB season, as they are projected to win just 40. If that happens, their 122 losses would be two more than the 1962 New York Mets, who went 40-120.

Things have to change if Chicago has to avoid such unwanted records. They fired manager Pedro Grifol after setting the AL record for most consecutive losses, with Grady Sizemore appointed as the interim manager.
