Players Only Mookie Betts will skip White House visit, citing desire to spend time with family instead. "If I do [go], people are gonna hate me. If I don't, people are gonna hate me," he said. "So instead of trying to make everyone else happy, I'm gonna think about myself and my family."

What’s the implication here?

Implication is that Kershaw kinda strong armed people to go. You know “as a team”.

Shouldn't you all go to something "as a team" that you accomplished "as a team"?

What is this based on? Did a teammate imply that or is this just because we know he’s conservative? Legitimately wondering if I missed something.

Kkkershaw made teammates go last time who didn't want to go, because Kkkersh is a MAGAt

Not enough Ks in there. He averaged 7 per game!

Although the playoffs were only at 5.

Not sure why you stopped at 3.

Edit: I guess people don’t see the sarcasm in this post. So we are deeming Kershaw as a racist? I find that hard to believe.
