player ready...The Nationals will meet with Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, just five days after the team won the World Series and a week after their fans booed Trump in person.
It took six months for the Red Sox to visit Trump after winning the World Series last year. The team didn’t make its White House visit until May of 2019, and when they did, nearly every non-white player and coach boycotted the visit.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he was skipping the visit over Trump’s mangling of Puerto Rico, while pitcher Hector Velazquez said he was boycotting because of the president’s racism towards Mexico.
Nationals fans chanted “LOCK HIM UP” when the President attended Game 5 in D.C. on Sunday.
The Nationals’ playoff roster includes eight players from Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Brazil, and closer Sean Doolittle is reportedly a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. The Washington Post reported Friday that Doolittle will be skipping the White House visit.
Trump has a bizarre history with sports teams and White House visits. He’s created a tradition of serving ice-cold fast food to college teams, and didn’t invite a single women’s team in 2017 or 2018. Several teams, including the 2018 NBA champion Warriors and 2019 World Cup-winning U.S. women, have publicly rejected invites.
