QOTD: "Can't Get Past That Stuff"
“I have a brother-in-law who has autism, and [Trump] is a guy that mocked a disabled reporter. How would I explain that to him that I hung out with somebody who mocked the way that he talked, or the way that he moves his hands? I can’t get past that stuff.” -- World Champion Washington Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle, explaining why he won't attend the White (Supremacist) House event on Monday so Trump can have his photo op. Several players are said to be considering following Doolittle's example. It's hard to fathom why anyone, especially the Latino players, would want to be in the same vicinity as Trump.
Trump was lustily booed a week ago at Nats Park, with the crowd chanting "lock him up." That should give the players a clue about what to do.
