I Hope NOT... Trump (That Morbidly Obese TREASONOUS POS) Does NOT Deserve to have them at the WH. So? Will they or WON'T they? Thoughts?
and folks... this ^^^ is how people destroy good old pastimes... they inflect partisan politics into it... note to mods... best to close this thread before it gets uglier
I'm just pleased they won. They and their fans should be able to savor the win. I imagine Trump won't invite them. He's never been able to get good optics from athletes. Which is too bad but understandable. Besides, they can free fillet-o-fish anywhere.
If they're invited, which I'm sure they will be, I'd like to see them go. I think they will. If you noticed, during the entire World Series, not a single player took a knee during the performance of the National Anthem...
The Nationals won the franchise's first World Series title by defeating the Houston Astros in Game 7 on Wednesday. They will be the third major league team to meet with Trump after winning a title, joining the 2017 Astros and 2018 Boston Red Sox -- though nearly a dozen Red Sox players and manager Alex Cora skipped that visit. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...ampion-nationals-visit-president-trump-monday I wonder how many (if any) will sit it out?
Probably be something like the Red Sox last year. Some will go and some won't. the team picture was incomplete, with Manager Alex Cora and some of Boston’s biggest stars absent As for the Nat's Tough Call, see below: https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...-dont-have-easy-white-house-visit/4123982002/
The team site has still not said any more have opted out. They updated it immediately when Doolittle opted out.
Cool. Thanks for the info. So, as of now, it does appear that everyone else is going. How long will it be, before that Bloated Orange IMBECILE takes credit for the Win--With some IDIOTIC remark like: "See, Trump gets Elected and the Nats Win The Series. How many living Presidents can say that?"
I couldn't care less who stays or goes. We have yet to have a team in the last 10-12 years have everyone go. Brady didn't go once or twice.
Many went! Looked like they really enjoyed their time there. Puerto Rican manager was clapping and laughing at the crowd questions and smiling with Trump. Catcher donning a MAGA hat. Ryan Zimmerman (long time Nat) presented Trump with a Jersey. Looked like the Nats had a wonderful time! Trump was very professional and funny at this event. Had that large crowd laughing for a minute at some jokes. I think in total, only 7 players and staff members opted out. That's insane. If they were as upset as you thought they were, most of the team, staff, coaches, and owners wouldn't show up!
The catcher wore a MAGA hat . Angry libs want him banned from baseball , vow to neve cheer for the nats again .... talk about triggered little girls.
I did. It was cool. EXCEPT, when Trump tried to channel Harvey Weinstein and got a little Handsy with Kurt Suzuki... Trump likes to grab other people's breasts without consent (man or woman).
Odd how that's the biggest take away you got from that. An embracing moment is what you focused the most on. Not how happy the Nats were to be with Trump. But if Trump and another dude touching each other is your gig...we can't stop you from obsessing. Nats couldn't be more happy to be at the White House! Another AJ prediction that didn't go according to plan
Nats continue their DC/Trump celebrations on Penn Ave and Wisconsin. I was able to take leave and watch it as they headed down Wisconsin (the team managers and fans). What a fun time! So weird that people would think they would not support Trump!
