Sometimes it’s being a jerk, not being pro-Trump, that has consequences.
To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of their 2010 World Series victory, the San Francisco Giants will hold a reunion on Aug. 16 for some of the players on that roster. First baseman and outfielder Aubrey Huff, one key member of the championship team, will not be in attendance. The omission was intentional.that the Giants did not invite Huff to the reunion.
In the Athletic’s report, Huff said he was “disappointed” by the snub, but tried to play it off like he didn’t care about the Giants’ “politically correct, progressive bullshit.” From the article: When asked in the phone interview on Monday whether the Giants’ decision to exclude him from future activities might be seen as an expected consequence, considering the range of reactions to what he’s posted, Huff offered no apology for his behavior.
“So what? It’s what you said — my opinion. It’s my Twitter account. I’m not going to go and change what I believe in just so I can go get a five-second hat tip. I’m not going to change my opinion so I can go and feel validated,” Huff said. Even if Huff wouldn’t admit it, he very much wanted validation, ideally from the commander in chief. Late Monday night, he released a statement about how the Giants were keeping him from the celebration because he was a supporter of Donald Trump.
