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.

In John Angelos' experience, it seems President's can be made to turn their backs on their constituents for the simple two minute joy of throwing a first pitch. What kind of limped wristed a**hats have we been electing to POTUS to give any kind of such impression? The People elected a new kind of sheriff in this town, Mr. Angelos. Learn to deal with it or get out of the way.

Did I miss it ? I don’t see anywhere Pres. Trump was invited to throw out the first pitch, nor do I see where Pres. Trump accepted any invitation.

Trump should just cancel his appearance without a word. These jerks who think they big shots will regret their actions someday.

That is disgusting, petty, and small, even from Maryland. I have never visited there and now, I never will....nor will I watch the Orioles on tv. There are many, many who feel as I do.
Mr. Bigmouth doesn’t understand the concept of unintended consequences.

Making America Great Again is doable. Making the Oriols Great Again is maybe not so much.

What does race have to do with illegal immigration? Isn’t lady justice blind on the matter regardless of race. Screw the Orioles, and their bird brained executives.

Dang!!...He is being blackballed everywhere ..so very unfair! My heart breaks for this man who is risking everything ...his fortune, family all for the sake of making America great again! His love for this country is mind blowing! But I know God has a plan for President Trump and no weapon formed against him shall prosper! WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT!!! Please continue to pray for him daily!
