JUPITER, Fla. - If the detractors hoped to silence Dexter Fowler with their vile hate over the weekend, they were as wrong as their warped views.
Fowler has been active on social media so long, he wasn’t even surprised by some of the hate he received after telling ESPN how President Donald Trump’s proposed travel ban affected his wife’s Iranian family.
Fowler, who is married to an Iranian immigrant, never meant to make a political statement or criticize Trump on Saturday. He merely described Trump’s proposed travel ban of seven Muslim-majority countries as “unfortunate.”
The Cardinals’ new center fielder gave a candid answer at a time when we need more understanding and less silence.
