WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Sean Doolittle and Eireann Dolan almost wore nearly identical shoes to a photo shoot last week. Most major league players dont argue with their wife over who gets to wear Birkenstocks that day. Most major league players wouldnt have their local paper requesting a photo shoot to accompany a story about their work with Syrian refugees or LGBT pride night or an op-ed they wrote about veterans issues. Doolittle and Dolan are not most major league couples.
In a sport with a conservative culture defined by tradition and a near-dogmatic acceptance of the social status quo, they have been unafraid to be different, while determined not to be different for differents sake.

I won’t even click on the link to read Washington Post, CNN, or NYT articles any more.
It is all BS from those three...and more.
Let me guess-the guy is saying he is a veteran of duty in a war zone, received a less than honorable discharge, and is bragging about it to burnish his credentials as a leftist?
Young conservatives use the term "based" to indicate awareness. "Woke" was coined by some hip-hop artist and had primarily been used in the black SJW community.
Lovely. An MLB idjit and his wife are fascists.
Is this the moron who took a knee during the national anthem?
This guy needs to hear a little ‘chin music’.
That was Bruce Maxwell, backup catcher with the Oakland A’s. Same organization that produced Doolittle.
He’s a closer. Probably won’t get an AB this year. None last year.
That explains why he feels like he can spout off.
They are helping vets who have less than honorable discharges get VA benefits. Some who have deployed and earned those benefits do end up with less than honorable discharges due to the issues they develop. However, most with LTHs are just bad service members.
I like that they are trying to help vets. Any vets, but of course they are publicizing it to be admired....
In her eagerness to adore their leftism, she can't see that their shoes are NOT "nearly identical.' What a loon. His are Birkenstock style with the lowered heel, and hers are not.Hers have a strap buckle, his do not. Hers have back and ankle straps. His do not. Hers have straw braid around platform soles. His have hollowed cork soles...
“Woke” means that one has converted to collectivist principles or beliefs.
Thanks for explaining it. I feel much the same way. Can’t bring myself to click the link...
I understand not wanting to slum it on their sites. i don’t go there much anymore either.
Wont be the last athlete to hook up with a crazy leftist woman and be dragged down her rabbit hole.
thanks.
I have come to regard nearly all media sites as being completely antagonistic to America, so much so that I cannot donate even a click to their site without feeling that I have somehow enabled them.
Yep, I share that sentiment. I click very sparingly now and usually none.
