Imagine the uproar if people boycotted sports events due to the stances of this person and some of his biased players.

How much $$ have Cora and his fellow Puerto Ricans in MLB sent to Puerto Rico??

Seems like he could make a difference by actually going to the White House and talking to the president about what the people of Puerto Rico need rather than being a whiny baby.

Reinforces my rooting for the Dodgers. And Yankees. And anyone playing the Red Sox.
To: ConservativeStatement
Yeah. No mention of the crookedness of the local pols that prevented the aid to be distributed

No, he’s boycotting the White House because he believed the politically motivated Democrat spin on the Puerto Rico hurricane response.

But then the masses would miss what a noble thing he is doing. #virtuesignaling
ps:I notice he didn't NOT go to PR in response to their idiotic response to the hurricane.
To: ConservativeStatement
Well the NFL has certainly taken a hit and the NFL is now in overdrive trying to hide some players’ disdain for the American Flag.
I missed my first season in 40 years last year.
Just lost interest.

The White House response to the hurricane was efficient and rapid. Problems that occurred were due to corruption, ineptness of Puerto Rican government officials, and a rabid desire to discredit President Trump.

Any response has TWO parts. One part is the effort to HELP the afflicted party, and the other is for the afflicted party to accept the help.
The way I read it, the help landed in Puerto Rico in great quantities, but the local administrators, in a fit of either spite or very real incompetence, did not or could not make distribution of the goods and services made available to them. The Puerto Ricans are expected to make SOME effort, yet so much simply went to waste.
Apparently this is Trump’s fault, for simply being Trump.

I find the sport absolutely boring to watch.
As for the Puerto Rico response, there was plenty of money and supplies sent to them. Their Leftist scum in charge sucked it up or mishandled it.
Those people elected them. They have to live with it.
I am sure we will get some Freeper on here saying we don’t understand the intricacies of what goes on in Puerto Rico.
I could give a crap.

He needs to be harassed in public. Doxxed and his familys sins broadcast to the nation.
No peace in public for this prick.
