Former Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz celebrated multiple World Series championships with visits to the White House, but he would not make the trip under this administration if he was still playing.
Ortiz told WEEI.com's Rob Bradford on Monday that he would have declined an invitation from President Donald Trump if he had been a part of last year's championship team:
"Put it this way, in sports, it's more likely a big percentage of black people and Spanish people are decedents from immigrants. So once you see what is going in this country based on being an immigrant or being black it's something that goes beyond going into the White House and shaking hands with the President just because.
