Alex Cora Red Sox manager, Puerto Rician native along with 9 players of color stand up for principle and refuse White House visit

[HomerJS]

Nice to see people stand up for principle.

Alex Cora

It’s pretty tough to go celebrate when we’re where we’re at. I’d rather not go and be consistent with everything.”

All of us remember Trump treating his people like this

Players of color remember Trump calling black athletes "sons of bitches"

Following the ceremony in a tweet Trump couldn't help himself and lie about funding for Puerto Rico

He wrote that the island had been given $91 billion, “should be very happy,” and — after listing a number of red states he claimed Democrats threatened to punish in retaliation to his response to Puerto Rico — added “Dems don’t want farmers to get any help.”
More than an accounting of long-dispersed funds already in the bank, his $91 billion claim is actually more like an estimated IOU cobbled together across a number of government agencies.
As for the insinuation helping Puerto Rico doesn’t help farmers, farming income on the island grew 25% from 2012-2014 to the tune of $900 million.
In other words, helping Puerto Rico does help American farmers — lest we forget Puerto Ricans are Americans.

Sometimes you just have to stand up for right.

The Great Divider. This is to me what Trump will be more known for given the passage of time.

For the fact that he did it all for selfish gain makes him a monster, a focal point for most all forms of extremism the nation has to offer.

On a wider scale, the Repub Party itself has had to resort to these kinds of nation crippling power grabs to remain relevant as a political party.

Our enemies, most notably Putin and his cabal of Russian oligarchs have exploited this situation to maximize the damage the Repub Party has wreaked on the nation.

Strange bedfellows that have recognized that weakening our nation is the only way to win at the game of forcing one "party" to have dominion over the other.

I really do wonder if most Repubs feel it's worth it and don't mind at all to have Putin as their ally if it means keeping their party in power.

What's to wonder?



After the Obama shock, they have reintegrated and are more energetic than ever with Trumpism.

Not going to play well with the most racist fan base in professional sports.

Perhaps Alex Cora can play I Love LA and give all his earnings to the people of Puerto Rico. Dodgers fans will get that 1st part. He played for the Dodgers.

Maybe Trump can give all his tax deductions to PR? That would be a lot more than a song. Even better, have NY seize Trump's wealth and donate it to those who lived through the shitstorm that is Trump.

Why not both take a vow of poverty? Give all their wealth away.

Even better as it does much more. Have the tax rate of 70% at 10 million and up. Then Trump can do material good and live beyond the wildest expectations of us peasants and so can sports players. Dems, Republicans, black, white, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Atheist-

That's much more effective as I don't know about others but Trump is the opposite of charitable unless he is the charity. Thanks for leading the discussion towards a positive outcome.

seriously. I almost wonder if the cold fast food dinners that he serves is just a message to future champions and teams to go ahead and refuse to visit him, so that he can then try and turn it against them publicly about how magnanimous he is (look that one up, Trump retards), but these wealthy stuck-up athletes still refuse to visit the great Trump. Very Sad!

LOL, there was a short phone-clip from the Clemson "dinner", one of them says "WTF, he's actually serving this?". Dumb-fuck actually said "they'll love this!, it's food they want anyways". Yea, I'm sure they ask for cold, stale big Mac's every time they go to Mc'd's. Idiot could have served subs without much fuss and not looked like an epic moron.

I'm sure those fans appreciate that their white players and white president all went.

Yeah, I saw a lot of facebook posts saying "college kids love fast food, I would have loved this when I was in college!" except for the fact that a lot of these are elite athletes that take very good care of theirselves and probably watch what they are putting into their body.

I'm beginning to think that this administration does not know what an editor (person) is for.

The Dotard Administration finally spells a word right and they still spell it wrong.
