    I'm surprised he has ever tweeted about baseball.
    As to why they shouldn't invite, consider the appearance of this:
    1) Invite a guy who bragged about actions consistent with sexual assault; values women exclusively on their looks etc
    2) Weeks later, hold a Mothers Day/breast cancer awareness event.
    Or
    1) Invite a guy who has called Mexican immigrants disproportionately guilty of rape and other crimes.
    2) Weels later, hold a Latino night.

    Contradictory.
    Sure, the traditional thing is to invite POTUS. But this isn't a conventional President. None of his predecessors in recent memory has publicly demeaned so many segments of society. Women, minorities, the disabled. The disabled!
    This POTUS is different.

    My previous comment about the reasons to dislike this team are purely fan-related due to geographical rivalry and are total exaggerations. This opinion on Trump is serious.

    His old tweets on shutdowns may become super relevant next month.

    If the Nats would now call on this gentleman to throw out the first pitch, they would be my favorite team till the end of time.

    I can't stand the guy either and am happy to not have to see this, but on the other hand it strikes me (no pun intended) as just a little sad. Dude, soak up a little bit of the juice that comes with the job, the kind that makes you look like a real human being.

    I suspect somebody in Team Fucko had the lightbulb go off that it would probably be a real real real bad idea to put him out in front of a crowd of 50,000 people.

    At most, I can think of seven MLB parks where he wouldn't guarantee a cascade of boos that could be heard on the international space station.
