FlipBoardThe President of the United States supposedly upset the MLB brass by wearing a Chicago White Sox jacket when throwing the first pitch at the All-Star Game last weekend. And all I can say is that whatever pisses off stodgy, white baseball owners is good for America.
[Obama senior advisor David] Axelrod said he had a long talk with Obama before the game because some Major League Baseball executives weren’t happy about the decision.
“There was a big controversy,” he said. “I think Major League Baseball wanted him to wear the All-Star jacket, and he was intent on wearing his White Sox jacket. He prevailed in that. The thing I will say about him — I’ll give him this — he’s not a Cub-hater. He will allow that he wants the Cubs to do well. It’s just that between the two of them, he prefers the White Sox. via.
I think most fans appreciated the fact that Barack Obama stuck with his team, whether or not those people were Sox fans themselves. Now if we could just do something about those jeans. via.
Maybe if he had worn an All-Star jacket his pitch would have reached home plate.
“Pardon the interruption of this international summit on the destabilization in Indo-China, Mr. President, but these crotchety old fucks are upset about your choice of jacket at the All Star Game”
There’s only one white sock I love.
I believe the correct response is “Fuck you, I’m the president.”
Just to be an asshole, he should take away their antitrust exemption.
The owners were, however, impressed by his choice of Jordache jeans.
“The surest way to destroy a nation is to debauch its White-sox jackets.”
Perhaps he should learn the name of his beloved Sox’s park.
Fox News digitally removed the “SOX” from his jacket and replaced it with “I’m a dangerous Socialist who wants to destroy America even though I wasn’t even born here! Death to Whitey!!!”
The Glenn Beck made weird faces and cried.
NBC news digitally removed all his clothes then repeatedly slammed thier junk in a desk drawer for an hour.
Then Brian Williams bowed and cried.
U.S. Cellular can pay whatever they want to put the name on the stadium, but it will be forever known as Comiskey Park. I got Barack’s back on this one!
“U.S. Cellular can pay whatever they want to put the name on the stadium, but it will be forever known as Comiskey Park. I got Barack’s back on this one!”
While it was formerly known as Comiskey Park, and I still refer to it as such, it has never been known as “Cominskey Field.” You would think a die hard fan would know that. Though, with a masculine throw like that, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
yeah, i am glad MLB is concentrating on that instead of lesser issues like steroids or a salary cap.
“Now if we could just do something about those jeans.”
Good job, queer eye.
