So far, the conversation about the upcoming Boston Red Sox visit to Donald Trump’s White House has centered around the people of color who are skipping the event. The manager Alex Cora, a critic of the Trump administration’s inexcusable treatment of Puerto Rico amid the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017, cited his home island’s continuing troubles as his reason for opting out.

Not sure who is a worse "sports writer" her or David Zirin. No you race monger. Players who do not want to go do not need to say why and players who do go do not need to say why and that includes their teammates.

Inexcusable?

Do them Puto-Ricans think they are entitled to a lifetime of free stuff?

Go pry that money out of your bosses, homies.

Funny...

I posted this to yesterday's Rush Limbaugh thread:


If you haven't noticed, boycotting the Trump White House has become the latest civil rights protest.

The difference is that only the elite of sports get to engage in it. The problem is that it forces white students on teams to go along or be rejected.

Would this be an acceptable headline?

"Why Don’t White Black Athletes Understand What’s Wrong With Trump Obama"?

If not, then the original headline is also unacceptable.

The Florida Panhandle was struck by the most powerful hurricane to hit in the last 40 years. So far there has been zero aid package. Every other less powerful ones got billions almost immediately.

Puerto Rico got the most of any. Let that sink in. They got the most aid of any state or territory and are still complaining about Whitey.

President Trump will land at Tyndall in an hour or so. Maybe he will bring good news.

Not about the color of your skin - it's about the lack of critical-thinking skills.
Sadly, you'd think a major league manager would be smarter than that - but if you've got the league's highest payroll, you don't have to be...

The fat f*ck who wrote this dissent know anything about sport.

To be a Trump means to be a born winner who will work till you drop - all TRUMPIAN virtues that true sportsmen should cherish

Cora needs to manage in Puerto Rico. He would be happier there. I wonder if he donated his salary to relief their, or encouraged other Puerto Rican players to do so. Nooooo. They know too much about Puerto Rico to do that.
