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."

Reporters were asking the players if they would attend a celebration at the White House as soon as they won..... predictable and meaningless.
There are plenty of useful idiots to play drums for the MSM who truly resemble a self-licking ice cream cone.

The division in this country stems directly from Hillary Clinton, et al, not accepting the results of the 2016 election. Its insanity to blame the division on the winner of the election. At least he accepted the results.

I don’t remember seeing them invited. Awfully presumptive on their part. I doubt they get invited.

He should just put the word out that if any team wants to come to the White House, they should contact him and hell let them know if he can swing it. ----
