"I just can't do it": Washington Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle declines White House invitation

The Washington Nationals will head to the White House Monday to meet with President Trump following the team's historic World Series victory. But pitcher Sean Doolittle won't be going.

"There's a lot of things, policies that I disagree with, but at the end of the day, it has more to do with the divisive rhetoric and the enabling of conspiracy theories and widening the divide in this country," Doolittle said in an interview with The Washington Post.

"At the end of the day, as much as I wanted to be there with my teammates and share that experience with my teammates, I can't do it," Doolittle said. "I just can't do it."

Sean’s girlfriend is a raging LGBTQ “activist”, her “parents” are two lesbians. You can imagine how p-whipped Sean must be.

Trump said NOTHING about non-consensual groping. The imbeciles are lying, still.

In the fwiw department, I couldn’t care less what Doolittle says or thinks.

Although I do wonder if his wife swallows.

Here’s the idiot’s rationale:

I and my wife are inclusive....

Except for the President of the United States and 63 million American patriots who love him...

Right Doolittle, keep on trying to make sense.

He’s a good pitcher but can “Doo Little” else that is pro-American. What a doucebag. Hurts the rest of his team by acting like a self-righteous leftist turd.

Though so far only one player, an Oakland, took a knee in a protest. And yes maybe they hate America but they love capitalism and their $alarie$. At least for them, the rest of us they feel can go to hell, I guess.

Yes. I also am sick and tired of the existence of these lowgrades.

If you look at it with logic and reason the country as it was years ago is finished. The Founders are scorned.

The education/propaganda and entertainment businesses create millions more relative morons with each day ..... people who have little idea of reality.

Yes, as I look at this country logically, it is on it's death bed, the communist propaganda of the last forty or so years has driven a stake in the heart of The Founders.

But there always is prayer for a "miracle" which imbues young people and others with a degree of wisdom.

But, miracles are rare, I hear.

I personally pray for the great works of Brad Parscale.

To be more specific, I am dumping the MLB organization (i.e.it leadership) into this basket because the leadership allows and encourages these nitwits to make public grand standing gestures against a sitting President, just like the NFL.

I am also dumping on all the other players who do not speak out against these nitwits some responsibility as well since they should condemn this behavior proactively. While I support the freedoms for this player to be a nitwit, I also support the freedoms for the other players to condemn this nitwit’s decision. However, I rarely, if ever, hear of a player condemning the decisions of nitwits and their silence speaks volumes.

In short, one can not vote ‘present’ in this war. One is either for or against us. Most of the founding fathers died penniless or died in the war because they signed the Declaration of Independence against King George.

Maybe they are sensibly following the notion that there is no ‘I’ in ‘Team’ - regardless that their team mate does not.

You always get into one kind of trouble or other, when you open your mouth. But you can read anything you like into silence...
