Normally I think sports teams who win championships should not be forced into the traditional meet-and-greet with Donald of Orange. But in this case, the Sox should make an exception. The whole team needs to visit the Oval Office for the traditional photo opportunity, bring him a Sox jersey with the number 45 on it and his name on the back, and serve a traditional New England luncheon of baked scrod and white clam chowder.
This has nothing to do with respect for the sacred traditions of our national pastime and everything to do with the fact Trump despises the Red Sox, who issued his Yankees a 15-run shellacking in Game 3 of the ALDS.

He's further sullied himself with sliming our American pastime over and over...National Sports. That's the only kind of Nationalist I want to see...black, brown, Asian or white.

(23,862 posts)He said, and I paraphrase, "this is not the time to talk about this". Cora, when he was hired, had one demand in his salary (he is amongst the lowest paid managers, btw) and that was a commitment by the RS to send relief supplies to his hometown in PR.
Yeah, I don't think Cora has any interest in showing up at Trump's WH. A lot of the players are from the PR/DR/Aruba, etc. pretty sure they will follow suit.
