Orioles exec: Trump apology before first pitch
MSN News ^ | February 24, 2017

Posted on 02/24/2017 2:30:59 PM PST by detective

A Baltimore Orioles executive says he'd prefer President Trump not throw out a first pitch at Camden Yards without first apologizing for statements that could be viewed as problematic "from a race, ethnicity, religious, gender, disability" standpoint.   John Angelos, son of owner Peter Angelos and the Orioles' executive vice president and chief operating officer, said on a Baltimore-based podcast that divisive rhetoric and actions during Trump's campaign and since his swearing-in require that the president re-double efforts to embrace all members of the community.

Democrat donor and all around slime ball Peter Angelos demands Trump apologize before he is allowed to throw out the first pitch.

This the same Angelos who's team is the only one in MLB history to play a regular season game behind locked doors because they were afraid of the criminals in the area. This is the same owner who allows his teams fans to regularly be assaulted and robbed outside Camden Yards.

Trump should never attend an Orioles game.

Trump hasn’t done one thing wrong, Obama did eight years of nothing but wrong and never had to apologize once, but Trump needs to?

[ This reaction has been self-censored ]

Infuriating to put it mildly.

Why would Trump care about throwing out the first pitch? Why would the American people care? Get over yourself

The Orioles have several minor league teams.

I will not be attending my local AAA team this year. I will ask them to remove me from their promotional email list.

I really don't think Trump gives a shit who throws out the first ball.

Much ado from a liberal piece of crap about nothing.
