On Monday, Mark Saxon of ESPN.com reported St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler did not regret comments he previously made criticizing President Donald Trump's executive order banning travel from seven Muslim countries despite the backlash he received.

"I'm always going to care for my family, and if a question is asked out of concern, I'm going to answer the question truthfully," Fowler said, per Saxon. "It's not to hurt anybody. It's my perspective. It's unfortunate that people think of things that way, but I believe they're sensitive. I'm not the sensitive one.
