World Series winner Houston Astros’ baseball team has not yet decided whether to accept the obligatory invitation to the White House by US President Donald Trump.
Houston’s team manager A. J. Hinch announced a “timely” decision on the fringes of the emotionally euphoric victory parade in the Texas metropolis.
“The impact of the decision, what we do or don’t do, and how sport has changed into a driving force behind the mood across the country, will soon have to be decided,”Hinch said.
Because of the quarrels in the anthem contest between numerous professional athletes, especially from the NFL and Trump, and the outreach of NBA champion Golden State Warriors by Trump due to the hesitant stance of superstar Stephen Curry and Co. the Astros would not have made a conscious decision before the victory celebration:”We won’t allow anything to spoil the moment we want to celebrate with our fans.”
I’ll go,”said star pitcher Dallas Keuchel to the Houston Chronicle, World Series MVP George Springer:” When the team leaves, I’ll leave too… There are things that need to change, but they always do. Alex Bregman, who called Trump on Twitter in October a” joke “, said:” Hm, I don’t know. Whatever Carlos Beltran and Carlos Correa do, so do I.”
In fact, two months after hurricane “Harvey” struck the metropolis two months after hurricane “Harvey”, hundreds of thousands of people at the Astros parade created a happy and peaceful state of emergency. Local public transport was on the brink of collapse because many companies had given their employees and numerous schools free time to their pupils on Friday, the unofficial holiday day.
Mayor Sylvester Turner described the Astros in his speech as a ray of hope for Houston’s citizens against the backdrop of the still unresolved consequences of the hurricane disaster with 88 fatalities:”When the city needed an encouragement when it needed someone to get up a bit further, the Houston Astros came.
