   Ha! Ha!  Fuck you niggers.   
      
   WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump won’t throw out the   
   first pitch at Yankee Stadium next month after all.   
      
   In a tweet Sunday, Trump blamed the turn of events on his   
   “strong focus” on the coronavirus, vaccines and the economy. “We   
   will make it later in the season!” he promised.   
      
   Just three days ago, Trump revealed during a White House   
   briefing that he'd throw the first pitch at Yankee Stadium on   
   Aug. 15. Trump made the announcement on Major League Baseball's   
   opening day Thursday as former Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera   
   watched from the briefing room.   
      
   After months of playing down its seriousness, Trump recently   
   began starting to show the public that he is taking the virus   
   seriously. He has resumed holding televised briefings about   
   virus developments and last week canceled Republican convention   
   events that had been set for late August in Jacksonville,   
   Florida. Florida is among several states where the virus is   
   raging.   
      
   But on Saturday, the White House tweeted a photo of Trump and   
   former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre after they   
   played golf at Trump’s private club in Bedminster, New Jersey.   
      
   With baseball teams playing in largely empty stadiums, Trump   
   wouldn't have had to contend with crowd reaction to his   
   appearance at the Bronx stadium. Some of Trump's previous   
   appearances at major sporting events have drawn mixed responses.   
      
   But another issue could have been tricky for Trump, who has been   
   very critical of athletes taking a knee during the national   
   anthem before games.   
      
   The Yankees and the Washington Nationals took a knee before the   
   season's opening game last Thursday in Washington, then stood   
   for the national anthem. New York also had two players kneel for   
   the national anthem Saturday, Aaron Hicks and Giancarlo Stanton.   
   Both have said they will continue to kneel during the anthem   
   throughout the season.   
      
   Fire those spoiled stupid niggers.  Any other employee would be   
   shown the door by quitting time.
