Local talk radio(Richmond Va) is losing their minds about UVA not going to the White House

[underpants]

WRVA 1140 AM. They have an FM station simulcast now too.

Flipping around this morning going to work the morning host mentioned it three times. He even pulled the sports update guy into it.
"I just don't get it"
"Does EVERYTHING have to be politicized now?"
"how about respect for the office?"

So I'm laughing at them holding onto this over the weekend.

When I first got in the car on the way home I heard that a Nazi scumbag in Charlottesville pleaded guilty to riot charges. Admitting that he wasn't there to protest but to insight violence.

Switch back over to the local drive time guy who devoted THE 5PM spot to it. This guy is Jewish (which comes into play later). He was beside himself. "Is it about his policies?" "What's he done to deserve this?" "if the White House calls you go". Then this - "Conservatives just have more class"
Callers call in to echo what they've heard probably all day.

"Okay at 5:30 we'll talk to retired FBI Special Agent ______ about the horrible shooting at Poway synagogue in San Diego and try to get some answers as to why this happened again"

A basketball team from CHARLOTTESVILLE respectfully declined. Trump met with the Baylor women's basketball team today but not the NATIONAL TEACHER OF THE YEAR from Richmond.

I didn't call in. No use. They are so purposely disconnected from reality.

1. So let me get this straight.

Team goes to White House to visit Obama - "How dare them! Why do they have to make sports into a political event!"

Team goes to White House to visit Trump - "What a display! Trump had nothing but class and dignity!!! And take a look at that fast food spread!!!!"

Team *DECLINES* to go to White House to visit Trump - "How dare them! Why do they have to make sports into a political event!"

2. Yep. This really all started with Mark Chmura - Green Bay

1997 he made a big deal out of not going to the White House due his moral standards and Bill Clinton.

Wikipedia has an excuse about playing in a charity golf event. At the time Chmura couldn't find enough cameras to say why he wasn't goin to the White House.

On April 8, 2000 Chmura was accused of sexually assaulting the 17-year-old babysitter of his children. Chmura was tried but found not guilty of all charges.[7] Two days after being acquitted of child enticement and third-degree sexual assault, Chmura acknowledged that his behavior at a post-prom party "wasn't something a married man should do."[8]

3. WRVA. I'm glad it wasn't WWWV (3WV).

I've been a loyal listener since college (1977).
