Alternatively, they might choose to kill him instead of deporting him. It’s a shame he has not realized that yet.

but putting on that hat hurt me deep
It is bad enough that the Nationals organization puts religious pandering commercials on their radio broadcast and they make derogatory comments about AOC on there scoreboard in a minor a league ballpark. Now they hit the fans with this political bullshit. I guess I won't be going to any games next year either. Sad very sad. Thanks for the great win but leave politics out of it.

why aren't you mad at the "organization" that decide to accept the invitation? Others have paved the way by declining.

Suzuki was not the only National to offer outward support for the president. Ryan Zimmerman, the organization’s first draft pick in 2005, presented Trump with his own customary No. 45 jersey and added some kind words.

"This is an incredible honor I’d like to think none of us will ever forget," Zimmerman said. "We’d also like to thank for keeping everyone here safe in our country and continuing to make America the greatest country to live in the world."

But given the left-wing politics of the Islands, he might not be welcomed back
