President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers at the White House on Friday in the first visit by a sports team since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Biden said the “sense of community and pride” from sports is a “uniting feature.”

Screw these people. Sports teams did not want to visit Trump but run to see this diaper wearing dork.

I’ve discovered I don’t need or want MLB anymore.

Oh, and last year 60 game season doesn’t count.

Signed, former Dodger Fan.

Yup. First thing he asked them was how was the drive down from Brooklyn?

I kicked MLB to the curb when those overpaid pampered pricks struck and abandoned the World Series in 1994-95. I’ve never watched a game since and never will. After that MLB became second fiddle to the NFL. Now both are seeing who can reach bottom first.

LOL, Joe would be behind the times, expecting to meet Dodgers from the ‘60s. LOL.

“sense of community and pride” from sports is a “uniting feature.”

Hardly!

It’s not so special anymore when a pro sports team visits the sitting president. We have all seen just how conditional their enthusiasm and respectfulness can be.
Just send an email next time. Save your airfare.
