St. Louis Cardinals Deny Player Celebrations Were Tribute to Trump’s Reaction After Assassination Attempt

The St. Louis Cardinals are denying that the home run celebration several of their players performed last weekend was an homage to President Trump’s reaction following his assassination attempt.

On Sunday, Alec Burleson hit a home run in the third inning of the Cardinals’ game against the Braves. As he was rounding the bases, Burleson and a couple of teammates in the dugout put a hand over their ears. They raised a fist in what appeared to be a tribute to President Trump’s reaction following his assassination attempt on July 13.

Can never leave well enough alone. Nothing is ever settled until it is settled the way the left wants it settled.

So what if it was? MLB holds Gay Pride events but can’t allow players to be happy a president wasn’t assassinated?

Even if there was a thought of someone honoring Trump in some way, the left wants it snuffed out immediately. That’s the way totalitarians roll.

“The St. Louis Cardinals are denying that the home run celebration several of their players performed last weekend was an homage to President Trump’s reaction following his assassination attempt.”

Not exactly. They said it wasn’t a political statement.

Thank you for your reading comprehension. You get an "A".

Also, one of them, after reaching second on a double can be seen mouthing the words "Fight, fight, fight"...I mean come on, its obvious.

Yeah, The Cardinals don't do politics.

Cardinals take a 'unified' stand by wearing 'Black Lives Matter' shirts ...

Players do all kinds of celebrations when they get hits or home run and gesture into the dugout.

Hate to break it to the Left and the media, there are other
citizens in this nation that recognize the dregg you folks
support. We absolutely reject it. We support Trump and
anyone who will help shut your operation down.

If the Cardinal players wish to celebrate Trump’s survival
and machismo at a time like that, more power to them. Just
make sure every Leftist has to watch.

If the Cardinals think they need to apologize for celebrating Trumps fist bump they should all rot in hell!
