Well here we fricking go again. Jeez.

quote:

The manager of the Boston Red Sox said Sunday it's unclear whether the team, fresh off a World Series win, will visit the White House as part of its victory celebration.

The Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 Sunday in the final championship game of the series. Manager Alex Cora told reporters in a post-game news conference if the team is invited to meet with President Donald Trump, there will be a conversation among team members "later on."

Cora, a native of Puerto Rico, has been critical of Trump — most notably in September after the president claimed 3,000 people didn't die after Hurricane Maria hit the island, though Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello officially updated the estimated number of those who died as a result of the storm.

Red Sox should stick to baseball and leave political stances to politicians

Don't they have to wait for the White House to invite them first?

If they don't go it would show that the Red Sox hate America.

I’m so worried about this.

It is all I will be able to think about.

That's just it. Athletes are interjecting their politics into a long time tradition of champions be invited to the WH. Sometimes you just have to bite your lip and accept the gift and honor offered you.

There should be no question if they will be invited, that's the point.

Why the frick can’t people separate politics and literally anything else. It’s like they can’t realize the honor in being invited to the White House even if you don’t agree with the presidents policies or if you have a severe case of TDS

He's a Yankees fan. He may not even want them there.

But, he doesn't really care. He has work to do.

Yes 3000 died, but not directly from the hurricane event. Most died post hurricane due to shitty living conditions in general that were exacerbated by the hurricane. Like if you’re driving to fix a bridge after the hurricane but get in a car wreck would you blame the hurricane for the death? Only if you want to increase the death toll to make trump look bad.
