Its A Shame About Mookie Betts

[Montalban]

He let Al Sharpton and the boys get in his head.

Why is every damn thread with you about race, seemingly?

In his defense, he is one of the biggest racists on this site.

He's not very subtle about it either.

 

[broncosmitty]

Rafael Devers isn't going either.



He'll be busy, getting fatter.

If a player doesn't want to go the White House that is his right.

 

[The Oldtimer]

He let Al Sharpton and the boys get in his head.

Why because he doesn's want to go to the White House and be "two-faced"?

Why does it have to be about race? Why can't it be "This guy is not worthy of the office, so I don't respect him enough to visit him"?

I have blasted everyone who has shown up their team by not showing up from Mark Chmura to Ozzie Guillen to Tim Thomas and Matt Birk.

This is different. This is scum in the office that he has every right to give the middle finger to. Sorry Mookie, no McDonald's, I'm sure you really are going to be broken up about it.

The list of Bosox players backing out will likely grow before May.

Props to all that opt out of attending.

Please. He’s better than Obama. And it’s really not even close.

But eamagerd.....he says mean things.

Yep and Mookie didn't go into a big speech about why he's not going.

He kept it short and sweet which it should be....kept politics out of it

“I won’t be going there,” Betts said. “I decided not to.”

That is freaking perfect

 

[bksballer89]

People care too much about these things.

It isn't mandatory that you go to the White House. It is your decision

Players opted out of going when Obama was president also.

Take the political crap elsewhere.

Nothing triggers him more than a black man with an opinion

 

[ill]

I thought he was seriously injured or something

this is just OP clutching at his pearls over nothing.

what a drama queen

Did my best to shift the focus towards your 3rd basemans morbid obesity.

Yes. Mookie is a racist

 

[Montalban]

Agreed. Mookie looks like a fool injecting politics into sports.

That would be OK. But it is about race. if this was President Obama, Betts would be there in a heartbeat. This simpleton, who has probably never read a book in his life, other than a comic book, has let Al and the boys get in his head.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Yes. Mookie is a racist

Yeah so? Everyone is a racist in one-way or another.
