Keith Olbermann calls for MLB to ‘confiscate’ Cardinals franchise as he accuses them of Trump celebration
< < Go Back
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.
