As much as I hate to interrupt a good Trump rant or a pitting that boomerangs on the pitter, it turns out the original premise is false:
Sigh.
A number of right-wingers here have disparaged Snopes as being unacceptable as a cite due to liberal bias.
This should be equally unacceptable.
I think “bullies” is a bit too far. But even in the second video, the kid in the blue shirt has to lunge over people to catch it. I think “callous asshole” is a good descriptor; Trump didn’t really give much of a shit if the kid got the hat back by the way he tossed it.
But they managed to make sure the local (mostly minority) children weren’t invited.
Don’t know about the sax, but he actually was an excellent baseball player.
I think his coach said something along those lines, as well. And he was scouted by the pros when he was in high school.
Did the kid vote for trump? No. Then he’s the enemy.
I’m getting tired of how many dictators the major leagues did not make an offer so as to spare us of their craziness later…
Yep, I know that scouts being interested with Fidel Castro was not true, as for Trump: how many times have coaches encouraged their better players with talk of going pro? BTW the only source it seems to be a reported bit from coach Dobias mentioning the scouts, but he does not mention the scouts talking to Trump, one wonders if the scouts knew about how set the kid was and they would be the ones not wanting to risk it with a guy that at the fist hint of difficulty as a player he would balk for greener pastures. When NPR interviewed the coach no mention of the scouting was made.
