The former Boston star says, “You don't want to go and shake hands with a guy who is treating immigrants like [expletive] because I’m an immigrant.”
David Ortiz is no longer with the Red Sox, but he still joined Matthew Slater and the team when it celebrated its World Series win. By Cindy Boren Cindy Boren Reporter covering sports, with an emphasis on politics and national stories Email Bio Follow May 8 at 1:46 PM Never mind that David Ortiz, as a former member of the Boston Red Sox, wasn’t going to be visiting the White House with the team that won the World Series last year.
If Ortiz, who became a U.S. citizen in 2008, were still playing, he’d join Cora in sitting this one out. “Of course, bro,” he said. “Alex is in a tough spot right now, going there and acting like nothing is happening. It’s like you are going to shake hands with the enemy. Think about it, all the stuff that has been going on since he took office. People are angry. People are mad. He has divided people, that’s how it feels like.
“Put it this way, in sports, it’s more likely a big percentage of black people and Spanish people are descendants from immigrants,” Ortiz said. “So once you see what is going in this country based on being an immigrant or being black it’s something that goes beyond going into the White House and shaking hands with the president just because. That’s the situation that everyone is facing right now.
