Opinion: Why all of the Boston Red Sox should have gone to the White House ceremony
President Trump speaks during a White House ceremony Thursday honoring the Boston Red Sox for winning the 2018 World Series. By Fay Vincent May 12 at 4:06 PM Fay Vincent was commissioner of Major League Baseball from 1989 to 1992.
The other day, some sports figures got confused and failed to make the essential distinction between the person who is the head of state in our nation and at the same time the head of the current government. Some of the Boston Red Sox, led by their fine manager, Alex Cora, refused to attend the traditional White House ceremony at which the most recent World Series victors are honored by the president.
I do not challenge the right of Cora and his players to protest the U.S. government’s failures in aiding Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in 2017 or to protest any other government policy. But the president was honoring the Red Sox on behalf of the nation and even on behalf of Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and Houston Astros fans, whose teams had been vanquished by Boston on the way to the title.
