Hank Aaron supports athletes who snub the White House, use fame to speak out
Market Watch ^ | June 23, 2018 | RACHEL KONING BEALS

That’s the 84-year-old MLB Hall of Famer on athletes turning their professional sports platform into a political loudspeaker. Aaron, when asked, said he wasn’t so interested in visiting the White House either, if ever asked: “There’s nobody there I want to see,” he said at a ceremony for the Hank Aaron Champion for Justice Awards, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. President Trump uninvited the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on the eve of their scheduled celebration at the White House earlier this month, citing the small contingent of players and team representatives that planned to attend. Trump has not hosted an NBA championship team to visit the White House since taking office, which some observers tie to outspoken comments by Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry and others.

People in Mobile, AL where Hank lives know he’s a POS. Most cannot stand the sorry bastard.

This is not something new. It has been this way for many years. I’ve known some of his neighbors and they can confirm.

There wouldn’t be the white guilt clowns and we wouldn’t have had to prop a race up for several decades.

It is always funny how these people that have never been asked to visit the WH or design Melania’s cloths were never asked to do so. It is also a shame that someone like Hank Aaron degrades himself like this. Another person who had really dropped I my opinion.

Sort of like Hollywood zeroes using their fame to speak out, huh? I don’t think that makes them intelligent observers or worthy of admirable opinions.

One of Henry Aaron’s sisters, Alredia, is the wife of Rep. David Scott (Dem, GA-13). Hank Aaron is hardly apolitical, but his day has come and gone and I couldn’t care less what he thinks about anything.

I'm sure Hank loved obama and clinton who talked about helping the black community but did nothing but damage them. He dislikes president Trump because white liberals and black millionaires call him a racist. He either doesn't know or he doesn't care if the president's policies are improving the lives of black people.

Blacks are like Moonies, after a century of Conditioning by Democrats, they would sell flowers at airports and chant Hari Krishna, if their Owners told them too.

I thought Hank had died during the Obonzo era. He was always shooting off his big mouth. Then he went silent for eight years. Now he’s back to shooting off his big mouth again. Sorry, never was a fan of his.

The cotton gin, the McCormick reaper, etc. would probably have been invented sooner. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention.

Of all of them, Jesse Owens had the most class. And he was a staunch Republican.

A shame. Going from Hank Aaron to “Hank the Crank”. A “hero of the past to a zero with no class”.

Strike Three. You’re out!

Fake News.

Likely a “journalist” asked Aaron just to get liberal hack points if he answered the way he did. If he said he WOULD go to the White House, it wouldn’t be reported.
