Asshole Donald Trump Cancels Deal Allowing MLB Teams To Sign Cuban Born Players

People should be treated on an individual basis. Some people just get IT. Some people do not. We were off to such a great day. Kyle Korver wrote a really good piece on the Players Tribune about White Privilege. If you haven’t read it yet, I recommend that you do.

Hours later, that hateful asshole, Donald Trump decided to respond. MLB and Barack Obama passed a deal during his presidency that would allow teams to freely sign Cuban born players instead of having to smuggle them into the country. Trump being the racist that he is, reversed that deal.

Jeff Passan of ESPN had the details:

The Trump Administration on Friday rejected Major League Baseball's deal with the Cuban government that would've allowed players to sign with teams without defecting, sources tell ESPN. A disappointing decision for MLB that reversed Obama-era rules intended to ease relations.

The thrust of the government's argument, as laid out in a letter from Treasury Dept. to MLB obtained by ESPN: "A payment to the Cuban Baseball Federation is a payment to the Cuban government."

Included in the letter to the government from MLB were the tales of Yasiel Puig, Jose Abreu, Yoenis Cespedes, Leonys Martin and Yunel Escobar after they left Cuba — ones the deal was supposed to end. The human-trafficking horror stories did nothing to sway Trump Administration.

I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised. This is the same man that wants to build a wall across the southern border. No mention of a border across Canada, huh. The bottom line is Trump is a hateful racist. If you voted for him, take a long look in the mirror because you are a piece of shit. There is zero reason to keep Cuban players out of Major League Baseball besides the fact that he’s racist. That’s it. End of story.

Lucky for us, Trump lacks the hateful motivation Hitler did. Trump is too busy playing golf. Instead, Trump just throws these digs to remind us that he’s a hateful human being. Trump doesn’t care if the Cuban born players risk their lives or die trying to come over here. In fact, he prefers it. His actions today prove that.

Donald Trump Ruined The USFL, Will He Ruin The USA Next?

What’s next? He’s going to have police handcuff Aroldis Chapman during the middle of a pitching outing and have him deported? Shouldn’t we want the best baseball players in the world to compete in MLB regardless of race, color, or background? This ruling today is flat out embarrassing for our country. Looks like human trafficking is back on. It’s a sad day for baseball.
