Yesterday, it was confirmed that Sean Doolittle, a relief pitcher for the World Champion Washington Nationals, would decline an invitation to the White House.
Doolittle chose not to attend the ceremony slated for Monday.
He's the first Nat to do so publicly. Meanwhile, there have been reports that a handful of his teammates are considering taking the same step.
In an interview with The Washington Post Friday night, Doolittle explained his reasoning, which includes not
compromising his beliefs, as well as an aversion to Donald Trump’s
actions and policies.
Like I said - a champ in more than one way ...
