Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle will not join the team when it visits President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, citing the president's rhetoric and policies.
“There’s a lot of things, policies that I disagree with, but at the end of the day, it has more to do with the divisive rhetoric and the enabling of conspiracy theories and widening the divide in this country. My wife and I stand for inclusion and acceptance, and we’ve done work with refugees, people that come from, you know, the ‘s--thole countries,'” Doolittle told Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post.
