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.

Racists are people who are obsessed with race and make everything about race.

Sound like anyone you know, Jeannette?

There’s nothing wrong with President Trump!

President Trump is the best President in modern times.

“What does ‘Polar Bear Hunting’ mean?”

“What is the ‘Knockout game? “

Get up to speed to avoid revealing ignorance.

Articles like this are all geared at pitting whites as the new Jew’s, aimed at same or similar persecution. And that’s exactly what liberals and democrats want.

Shameless lying to demonize a president who was given the Rosa Parks Award. It will never end, no matter what non-Democrat holds the office now or in the future.

Why arent whites represented by 68% of sports players on basketball and football teams? Wheres the groups demanding they have a representation that matches society’s percentages?

ok-k-k-k-k-k-k

Lets just send Puerto Rico a refund of 100% of the income tax they paid!!

Oh yeah $0 out of 0$ won’t go far.

Their infrastructure has been decrepit and suffered from corruption for years while they blissfully lived on the hurricane bullseye. They peed in their own bath water; don’t expect me and mine to drink it.

Road apples.

The forces of evil never hesitate to lie. What can we do?

Seriously, what? I’m stumped.

It’s a street game played in an urban setting. It’s fun if you are an older white guy in decent clothes walking with sort of a stoop and not looking around much signalling zero situational awareness. The fun quotient comes with the Taurus Judge you are carrying concealed. The type of round the hammer rests on is up to you.

"...this is the most despicable lie of all..."

The Leftists know that full well. It is intentional.

We could spend 1 trillion dollars on rebuilding Puerto Rico and it would still be a corrupt stinking shithole of a rock in the sea.

Everywhere “brown” people run the show it’s a shithole. I defy anyone to show me a place run by them, that isn’t.

Joe Dimaggio, Victor Borge, Anita Bryant, Cassius Clay, Rosa Parks and Donald Trump fill out the people in that pick. Taken at Ellis Island.

So, just what is it that is “wrong” with Trump? This has never been defined or satisfactorily explained.

I am not familiar with Ms. Hill but it appears that she is not familiar with women’s basketball. Kim Mulkey, the longtime coach of the Baylor Women’s Basketball team has been here before. She was an All-American guard a national women’s championship team during the Reagan administration; she was an assistant coach on a women’s national championship team during the Clinton administration; she has been the head coach of national championship teams during the Bush II administration, the Obama administration and the Trump administration. She has taken her team to the White House every time they have been invited. So, no, it is not about politics. It is about winning and exposing your players to experiences they will remember for the rest of their lives. I don’t know the author’s area of expertise but if she is going to write about sports, she needs to do a little research before jumping to illogical conclusions.
