Then the camera cuts to Tim McCarver who is somehow in the media crowd, clutching his pearls with a quivering upper lip."<br /><br />Smiling Joe Hesketh: "Strange decision from a team that specifically cited their diversity as a strength in their championship season. ... Given that the Sox ownership has taken steps to distance themselves from a terrible past legacy of racism from Tom Yawkey's tenure, including getting rid of the Yawkey Way name, going to the WH seems bafflingly inept of them since Trump's main agenda these days is painting brown people as evil. ... The Philadelphia Eagles essentially told Trump to get stuffed. That's what I would have liked to see here."<br /><br />Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat: "Most people who come from shithole countries never get a chance to go to the White House"<br /><br />***allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-34716597105997357492018-12-05T19:05:21.952-08:002018-12-05T19:05:21.952-08:00Hey douchebag reporter, just leave leave your own ...<i>Hey douchebag reporter, just leave leave your own damn personal political views out of your work of sports reporting.</i><br /><br />So I'm guessing you don't know what a blog is.<br /><br /><i> Or risk being linked to the fake news establishment</i><br /><br />Please explain. <br /><br />I know this guy won't come back, but I'd love to hear what he thinks this means.<br /><br />laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-46743920479853309112018-12-05T19:02:52.792-08:002018-12-05T19:02:52.792-08:00Red Sox players better have something else to do t...Red Sox players better have something else to do that day.

It has never been, from our perspective, an endorsement of a politician, or policy, or procedures. ... We understand some may disagree with this decision. We completely respect that. ... [T]his is one of those moments where you try to put personal opinions aside and do what's best for the organization. ... We talked a lot about it, but there was no disagreement –– quite the opposite. ... It's no secret we try to take a strong stance on what we feel are important issues facing the team. ... [B]ut we do try to stay away from politics whenever possible."<br /><br />John Tomase, WEEI:<br />"I can't say I'm surprised. Baseball remains the most vanilla sport when it comes to politics. ... That makes baseball the perfect sport for the 45th president, whom they'll be honoring with their presence, and not the other way around. ... It would've been nice to see the Red Sox take a tiny stand for decency, but that's a tall ask. ... Ostracization would've been my choice, but I guess it's a free country."allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-32443471398637515022018-12-05T11:06:09.250-08:002018-12-05T11:06:09.250-08:00Yeah Allan, leave your personal views out of your ...Yeah Allan, leave your personal views out of your personal blog. <br /><br />Hey are you getting famous?

The Red Sox stand there and afterwards, Trump says, "See! These guys are the real champions. They don't take a knee! They have respect! They love their country! Hey, I played ball when I was younger and bet I'd fit right in with these boys!"<br /><br />It would be nice if, whatever invitation the team as team chooses to accept, some (or many!) individual players decided to avoid the affair and play video games, have a drink, sit by a pool, make love, etc etc.johngoldfinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322562737172405323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-20605115132962633352018-12-05T04:21:21.935-08:002018-12-05T04:21:21.935-08:00that is so a problem... and little donny trump i...that is so a problem... and little donny trump is a new yorker skankee AH too...<br />like to see the players laugh at his idiocy when he talks .. best punishment for a bully ever !! <br />Cora should give little donny a history lesson about his home !!! remember donny's knowledge is that of a 5th grader ... most of his knowledge is just his fantasy ...
