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.

What? Did he insult the Dominican Republic? That’s about half of professional baseball.
Hope the team’s ownership looks out into the stands on opening day and only sees one guy in the stands. Hope Colon Kaepernick enjoys his box seat.
Haha! And Trump played baseball when he was younger. Would be awesome.
Baltimore has a baseball team? Wow, who knew?
/sarc
Come on back to Cleveland. Home of the nomination that changed everything.
You stupid, stupid SOB
Watch your attendance drop like a freakin rock, dumbazz
Shocking—disgraceful. The ice cold hand of Liberalism has corrupted another sport. I bet this fellow would order his team to turn their backs on Trump—after they went on one knee for the playing of the “hateful” national anthem (insulting to Brits—don’t you know).
“Statements that COULD be viewed as problematic.”
So now Trump should apologize for comments that may be subject to personal interpretation.
Trump’s a Yankees fan.
Great. Now is baseball going all PC on us? I guess the only spectator sport left that hasn’t been ruined by PC liberals is poker.
Liberals ruin everything.
“Haha! And Trump played baseball when he was younger. Would be awesome.”
Well Trump will probably show up obamma girlie throw he did one year.... in his mamma jeans. That would bring obamma sissyness back up and make Trump look superior....again
What happened to sports? It’s all PC all the time, it seems.
Screw them
AL? fogeddaboudit
And also had to play "home" games at the Trop because of the riots in 2015.
And the Orioles have been mired in controversy over the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, a controversy that may keep Camden Yards out of consideration for the MLB All-Star Game for some time.
Have the Nats said anything about this?
He could also go to a Marlins game when he's in S. Florida, especially when they play the Mets, or come to the Trop and first-pitch when the Yankees play the Rays.
The real reason behind this is they know Trump will throw a baseball like a man. Withing days it will be all over the Internet contrasting that with 0bama’s girlyman throw some years ago.
The communists in this country spend 95% of their time either hiding the truth about 0bama or preventing him from embarrassment.
