major snub

wouldn't you grab a chance to visit Obama instead?

not to O. Of course i'd take O over the idiot any day

be all about snubbing the slimy orange idiot when the alternative is seeing Obama. Just guessing the problem of Trump, Yuck! probably opened the door to discussion of what they would WANT to do.

Trump is all about breaking tradition. It should make him happy.

eh, they'd probably snub him too. well i'm sure he can find some russopublican field team to visit him.

Some of them are hot!

/s

but today, for the first time ever, and against personal edict on the matter.. I have a 2nd/backup favorite team in a major sport.


GO CUBBIES!!!!!!!!!!

And, Hillary's supporters, as well.

are bigly Republicans.

I believe one of the Ricketts clan is the governator of Nebraska(?).

I believe one of the brothers is governor.

...are GOP supporters.

And his inherited monied idiot son is my governor and is going to do his best to replicate what has taken place in Kansas.


Peace

breaking with tradition and not meeting with Gump.

I can easily see the Dodgers snubbing the Shitbag when they win the title next season (hehe).

I am so happy that they will see Obama in the White House.



And it is the perfect snub. GObama

The Cubbies broke a curse and Obama is going to make sure that a new curse doesn't fall on them from Cousin Itt when he starts talking nonsense like he did today at his presser.

'sides, I doubt any team would have a shirt bigly enough for the orange one, if they did they can give him the #0000.

but he has class.

Trump is going ot be FUMING. Waiting to see if he calls the World Series champs "losers."

Visit a real President.

. . .that cannot be ignored or explained away.

The only other option as Zirin said is with a picket sign in their hand.

Sports are perhaps the closest thing this nation has to a true meritocracy, and reflect this nation's diversity. Can't see athletes from a wide variety of backgrounds wanting to visit a narrow-minded, regressionist racist.

"the Cubs have always been so overrated...Sad"

Thank you, Theo! Thank you, Laura! Thank you, President Obama for extending the invitation to them the night they won! I assume it will be web-streamed, and I can't wait to watch!

Part of the reason they broke with tradition is that a number of players won't be back next season. Having the visit during the offseason will allow all of those players to make the trip.

I've been a fan for fifty years, and thought I would never see them win a World Series.

I am going to thank Laura only. The rest of them are trump scum lovers.

He is smart in many ways, then.

Go Cubbies!

(No relation to the treasonous Koch Brothers.)

are probably big Hillary supporters. Don't want my picture with them anyway-- such losers. Sad!"

They know to avoid rubbish!

Given President Obama's Chicago ties and the daunting specter of going to the White House and being greeted by PEOTUS Cheeto this is totally understandable.

This is more fake news. There is no reason why he would want to avoid Trump.

Epstein was a vocal supporter of both Obama and Clinton.

So we're now at the point we call it fake news simply because it doesn't validate our biases? Wonderful narrative you've created.

Lack of it does not seem to cause problems with any theory....

I'm so happy to see this.

I was very disappointed, however, to find out that Cub owner Tom Ricketts and family are tRump humpers and paid for anti HRC advertising at the end of the campaign. It is tough for me to reconcile. I love the Cubs so much.

Hopefully teams snub the visit over the next 4 years. I could see a lot of guys abstaining from the trip.

Baseball is the only escape I see these days.

..in all seriousness, it is only fitting that they meet with their "favorite son", the President who lived for years in Chicago.

his fragile ego.

Being a Tribe fan I would hope that if they had won they would have done likewise.

So kudos Cubs, Orange guy will never be my president either.

he's probably going to be thrilled by their visit.

Cheeto Face grope and drool over them.

Cheeto Face: "Well, Mrs. 'ballplayer name', I have a bat and some balls you can play with...."

It's only natural the Cubs wanted to visit the White House while there was still a genuine President of the United States residing in it. Ask a child if he/she would rather see a real lion or a cardboard silhouette, they'll choose the real thing every time.

Snark snark.

Karma: It's a what's for dinner.

gets trumpee's goat.. tweet on that ya big whiner. They dissed your ass.

Mahalo, DonViejo

And, President Obama must be so grateful and Delighted!

considering the Ricketts connections and donations to Trump. I know not all of the Ricketts are Trump supporters but good for them for meeting Obama and not Trump.

Good.

I was so excited about the win. Then days later it all came crashing down when we lost the election and all that was in my mind when I saw the Cubbies symbols around my city was how evil money including ricketts money got him elected.

The whole city had a weird feel too it those weeks. There was crazy excitement when the cubs won then several days later the city felt like it went into a deep depression.

I guess the ricketts could have told the Cubs they would have to be traditional and wait for Trump.

But, like others say Laura and Theo are on our side.

And PK Wrigley was a horrible person.

Very, very, successful troll of "his orange spitefulness".
