Nationals

So the Washington Nationals won the baseball “World” Series this week, their first ever.  I was fairly indifferent about who won between the Nationals or the Houston Astros, but a couple of things swung my support to the Nationals.  Nothing to do with the team, but all to do with the fans.  The first being when Donald Trump attended a game in Washington, the Nationals fans booed and jeered him loudly and chanted Lock Him Up when he was announced on the public address system.  Hilarious.  The second being in the same game, a couple of models sitting behind home plate flashed their breasts at one of the opposition pitchers.  That got them banned indefinitely from all baseball stadiums – but a nice stunt.  So how do the Nationals team reward their fans?  It was announced today that the team is going to visit the White House next week.  This, despite other championship winning teams (notably in basketball) refusing to go.  Considering some of the National’s biggest stars are minorities, and considering how vocal their own fans were against Trump in Game 5, it makes that decision very questionable.  I hope that most of them excuse themselves from attending – sending a clear message that it is no longer an honor to be feted at the White House by this presidency.
