Backlash from Bruce Maxwell's protest late in the Major League Baseball regular season has followed him to his hometown.
In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, the Oakland A's catcher said he was recognized by a Huntsville, AL waiter while grabbing lunch and was denied service.
"He was like, 'you're the guy who took the knee? I voted for Trump and I stand for everything he stands for.'"
Maxwell said he responded with surprise and that his friend, a local councilman, shared some words with the restaurant's manager who assigned them a different server.
