There’s a baseball player by the name of Elijah Dukes. He has had a troubled life and while in Tampa got into trouble. However, he has been given another chance and was able to go to the Washington Nationals. They want to change the culture of the team so they want him to not get into any trouble. Makes sense.
Then Elijah last Saturday went to the Great Falls Virginia Little League kickoff, and was 5 minutes late for his game. Initially he was suspended, however, he had to play due to injury. The team fined him, and the little league raised money to pay for this fine.
I do understand the point of the Nationals, however, this is a bad pr move. The guy was trying to help out the little league in a local area, and is efforting to get his life back. But the DC Nationals decide to punish him. I do get their point, and this is unfortunate but if this happens again, please take care of it better. This is crazy to punish a guy like this, especially after their own behavior. This is the same team that started the season as the worst team in MLB, as well as misspelled their own name as the Natinals.
So I understand their point, but you are an organization that is drenched in mediocrity at best. Here’s hoping they will be okay in the future, and maybe stop embarrassing themselves in the eyes of the public. I’m sure their Redskin waiting fans of DC , will love to hear less mess come from their baseball team.
Before I end this, congrats to the Great Falls Little League Baseball. They’re the true class in this entire situation.
