JUPITER, Fla. • It would have been easy for Dexter Fowler to lash out at the hate spewed his way this weekend after he described President Trump’s proposed travel ban as unfortunate.
Fowler didn’t lash out. He didn’t back down, either. He quite simply explained how an important current event affects his wife’s Iranian family. Nothing more, nothing less.
This issue isn’t about politics for him. It’s about family. If you can’t see the difference, you’re the one with the problem.
“The question was asked out of empathy toward my family,” Fowler said Monday.
