Washington Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle will not visit the White House with his teammates when President Trump hosts the club to celebrate their World Series victory.
Doolittle, a relief pitcher who joined the Nationals in 2017, told The Washington Post on Friday that he will not attend a White House ceremony scheduled for Monday because of his opposition to Trump.
“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.
"My wife and I stand for inclusion and acceptance, and we’ve done work with refugees, people that come from, you know, the ‘shithole countries,' ” he added, referencing remarks Trump made in 2018 about immigrants coming from Haiti and other African nations.
Doolittle went on to say that "as much as I wanted to be there with my teammates and share that experience with my teammates, I can’t do it."

Do little
So, don’t.
Attention whore.
So you have to profess your bias to validate your disrespect? Shut your mouth and just don’t go.
Let him not go. No big deal.
Does he work for some US taxpayer funded, fake ‘religious’ charity?
And??
The US Constitution MANDATES that sports teams that win the championship MUST participate in these publicity stunts for the party controlling the White House. This so-called athlete is going to find his ass in JAIL if he keeps this up!
Then send a fan or two in your place, loser!
Did he even play?
They are refugees BECAUSE they are fleeing their “shithole countries”! The refugees want to live where Trump lives!
Did he play a significant role in the World Series, or was he just along for the ride? I don’t know, I didn’t watch any of it. If the latter, fine, go feed kids in Africa or something, you won’t be missed.
years down the road, he will regret that decision because he might not ever get a chance to visit the White House. His loss, not Trump’s. No one gives a damn what this moron thinks, but he will have to live with his decision.
I remember the days when common civility united us around the notion that the President represented the country, and we respected the office.
That’s not a surprise. Sean and his wife are so woke that they’re almost a caricature of the proper PC couple. They’ve been way out there all along. Maybe when President Elizabeth Warren steals everything he’ll come around, but not before.
Predictable.
Snowflake, you won’t be missed.
“My wife won’t let me...”
That said, seriously, who cares? These fools would be working in a car wash or worse, in prison, were it not for the fact they can run 100 yards in 9 seconds. And they couldn't do that were it not for the practice they got outrunning the police.
