Staying safe.
Been a Yankees fan for 50+ years. They are dead to me now.
I wouldn’t soil my shoes at the stadium. He should say that unless they stand for the Flag,fuggetaboutit. But we all know,that ain’t gonna happen.
Why would he do it anyway???? They’re all kneelers and blm supports.......
Good for Trump, he could have stated the real reason, that he was through with the MLB, NBA, and NFL for their disrespect for the American flag, as depicted by the Yanks and Nationals chicken kneeling on opening day.
They all kneel for the anthem, screw the MLB, the NBA, all of them they are frauds who collect BIG paychecks to throw a ball around then spit in America’s face
Good. I suspect the real reason is the stupid BLM-MLB nonsense that has been unfolding this past week. Once the Yankees all got on their knees a few days ago I knew he’d never show up at Yankee Stadium.
They will TAX him for being in NY!
Good. Rarely, if ever, is throwing out the first pitch a good thing. There is little upside to it. There are plenty of other things President Trump could be doing that have a greater positive impact.
Im sure he doesn’t want to give the media a soundbite of him being booed.
On a more important non-availability:
Fox’s Chris Wallace: “In our interview last week with President Trump, he questioned whether his opponent Joe Biden could handle a similar encounter. Well, we asked the Biden campaign for an interview and they said the former VP was not available. We’ll keep asking every week.”
Tell them he will, then go and when even one takes a knee, say ,”Good bye, I’ll find an American team.”
Kate Smith was the second to the last straw for me with the Yankees. The whole league (less Cleveland) can pond sand as far as Im concerned.
deBlasio denounced the Yankees for inviting the President yesterday and characterized it as inviting hate and a bunch of other insults. Today Trump cancels. I wonder what threats went on behind the scenes with Yankee management?
Afraid Fauci’s pitch would show him up.
President Trump is waiting for the day when he can throw out the first mayor.
Hilarious
Does the political calculus, takes a different tact
Good
Avoiding the “BOO” factor. Smart.
Cuomo and de Blasio would have probably tried to prevent President Trump from entering New York.
Knowing Trump he will eventually do this but smart not to give the left ammunition from throwing a bad pitch to having players take a knee as some sort of protest before he comes out wasn’t worth it at this point...besides what’s Debalso going to do to the Yankees if they ever threatened to leave New York he’d pass out
