Right? Cora just has to show up and then Trump and Suckabee will spin it into, “Alex Cora was very concerned for Puerto Rico, but he said we did an amazing job and continue to do great work.” Then Cora denies it and Trump and Suckabee double down and everyone forgets about it 48 hours later. There is no winning that…

They have the highest percentages of non-Americans out of the four major sports.

Alex Cora claims that he will not be going in order to “embarrass anybody”....other than himself....by going.  

viva El Guapo!

Anyone who goes there is just co-opted by the President to illustrate whatever shitty point he wants to make.

On the one hand, sports teams should stop going, as it implies support of the wannabe dictator. On the other hand, if they don’t go, it gives him 2 more hours to watch Fox News and no one needs that...

People in Southie now largely live in 1.5 million dollar condos and are basically indistinguishable from people in the South End.

You misspelled “leer”...

It won’t happen, but if Cora spoke and criticized the government’s actions in Puerto Rico, and either made President Trump stand there and take it or grab the mic himself for a, uh, “rebuttal”, it might be worth doing.

People in Southie had a problem with me because I was only 75% Irish and I had all my teeth.

Do it in Spanish and tell that stupid motherfucker it means something respectful. Guaranteed he repeats it a couple days later "I gotta tell you, lots of Hispanics are saying I'm doing a great job, even with the language barrier. I know some Spanish and I can tell they respect me a lot when they say 'vete a la mierda…

Have you seen him with Ivanka around? He’s more of a King Lear.

This. Plus in the wake of the WS, many players specifically cited the team’s diversity as a strength and a key to the success of their season. Cora’s the public face of the team right now. Why undermine that by showing any respect to a man who paints brown people as evil?

I assume Barry’s saying they both have large percentages of white players.

“Actual work” and “Donald Trump” do not, under any circumstances or context, belong in the same sentence, unless preceeded by the words “has never done any”

People in Southie are have no idea who is President. This is more of a Fall River or Merrimack Valley audience thing.

Red Sox visit Orange Man.

People in the South Southie have no problem with this.

on the contrary, the more time he spends on trivial stuff like this, the less time he has to spend doing criminal shit

Of all the norms and traditions that Donald Trump has defiled, this is one of the ones I’m not up in arms about.
