The man who says he was the waiter in a story that made national headlines on Tuesday wants an apology from Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell.

In an interview with TMZ Sports, Maxwell said he was refused service by a waiter at a Huntsville restaurant because he knelt for the playing of the national anthem before Athletics' games starting on Sept. 23.

Maxwell did not identify the waiter to TMZ Sports.

WZDX-TV in Huntsville identified the waiter as Matthew Henry, and Henry said the incident as related by Maxwell didn't happen.

Henry said he did not serve beer to one member of Maxwell's party, but that was because of an invalid ID.

This is what pushing back looks like.

A waiter going up against the entire establishment media and a rich game player, using the truth.

Maxwell said he was refused service by a waiter at a Huntsville restaurant

Looking at that picture, dude didn't need no beer. He's already fat-a**ed enough.

You folks that cling to baseball over football....you don’t realize that the connecting factor....is liberal minorities. Baseball has these folks too....

So, baseball needs to go just like football...and so does ANY sport that allows this.

Oh, and F Hollywood too...

Life without a TV, it’s not that hard, in fact...it’s better.

Wise TV advice aside, no MLB team has more than a few American blacks, and that prevents a lot of problems right there.

Exactly. All Maxwell has is a YouTube vid of him just SAYING WHAT ALLEGEDLY HAPPENED. No actual video of such an encounter and as of yet, no reliable corroborating witnesses. He sounds like a Bush League nobody trying to get famous.

My only question is why they were in Huntsville, Alabama?

With his current stats, Maxwell will be out of the majors within the next two years. Might as well garner some sort of legacy out of a mediocre baseball career at the expense of some minimum wage poor kid from his own home town........

Maxwell indeed took the knee and whether or not the waiter dissed the prick, I support the waiter and hope he did diss the prick..........

A collegiate baseball star at Birmingham-Southern, Maxwell attended Sparkman High School in Harvest.

He is from the Huntsville area.

Yeah, wonder when his buddy is up for re-election.. From the article:

Huntsville City Council member Devyn Keith, who was with Maxwell, said they didn’t want to hurt the business with adverse publicity.

“I believe in the fact that this was an idiot doing a stupid thing than a small business doing something wrong,” Keith told the Washington Post.

The Rest of the Story:

Pardon my not using names, this tempest isn’t really worth my brain cells..but...

If you’d like to patronize the bar, it’s called Keegan’s Public House. I’d like to patronize the bar, but it’s kinda a long drive for a beer and a healthy tip.

Google Devyn Keith. There’s your answer, your reason, and your victim. As the Eagles say, “Get over it!” Keith and catcher went to school together. No comment from other person(s) at the table.

I remember being at Wrigley in 1992. Every fan was white, almost every player was non white. Was an odd feeling, discovery...

The left says diversity is our strength, but I never hear these types saying there are TOO MANY blacks in the NBA or NFL. Gee, why?

The truth is the NFL player was ticked because a member of his party that was underage wasn’t served alcohol? The waiter should sue for defamation of character and collect some of that football money. And the player should be suspended for 10 games for blatant racism and for making up a lie that could lead to violence against the waiter.
