Ok...Media calls Trump Racist by inviting all of the Red Sox players to the White House, blacks don’t attend..film 24/7. I guess the media called Trump racist when Joey Logano and Roger Penske visited the White House (Joey was the champion in 2018), instead of Bubba Wallace (a black driver who needs a better team) or Daniel Suarez (Mexican born, great team he is with) or Aric Almirola (The Cuban Missile, with a great team), who didn’t win the championship?

Should never let racist sports teams build their trashy stadium in your city that clogs the highway traffic.

Sports Stadium = Racist Bigots
