Keith Olbermann calls for MLB to 'confiscate' Cardinals franchise as he accuses them of Trump celebration
The St. Louis Cardinals caught the attention of social media over the weekend when they seemingly performed a home run celebration in homage to former President Trump. Cardinals designated hitter Alec Burleson was trotting around the bases after a long home run against the Atlanta Braves, and he and his teammates in the dugout put one hand over their right ears and put a fist in the air.
It led to speculation that it was a tribute to Trump, who was wounded in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. However, Cardinals veteran Matt Carpenter denied after the game it was a tribute to Trump, telling the St. Louis Post-Dispatch it was "definitely not a political statement."
Still, Keith Olbermann insisted that Major League Baseball "ban" the players who performed the celebration, "confiscate" the franchise and "implode" Busch Stadium.
