President Donald Trump invited the Chicago Cubs to the White House after the team won the World Series, and a smug player decided to repay his gratitude in a very disrespectful way. It didn’t take viewers long to notice what was off about the photos taken in the White House. You will not believe what the Cubs outfielder did while posing in the Oval Office with Trump.

The Cubs’ Albert Almora, Jr. was one of many World Series Champions who was privileged enough to visit the White House for the second time in 2017 this Wednesday. However, instead of acting respectfully in front of the president, he decided that it would be amusing to extend his middle finger and flip off the camera while posing only a couple feet away from President Trump.
We should have seen this coming since it turns out this is not Almora’s first “hidden message” showing his resistance against our 45th president. Back in January, when the Cubs won the World Series, the team visited the White House while Obama was still in office, and the outfielder showed who he respects more.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon made it clear that the White House visit with the President was strictly voluntary and was not an official trip. So, now the question is this: Why did Almora go? His career must be circling the drain and this was the only way he had left to make headlines. I mean, bashing our president has worked so well for people like Kathy Griffin and Madonna, right?

Of course, Almora is not the first professional athlete to openly broadcast his disdain for the leader of our country, as if visiting the White House is some sort of chore and not an honor. Fortunately, there are some players on the team who still have patriotism and respect for our president and our country like the rest of us, though.

“I’m going because it’s the United States of America, and I’d rather not live anywhere else except this country,” said first baseman Anthony Rizzo. “This is a little more low key and it’s more of a friendly visit that what we did before, which was super awesome.” [Source: Sun Times]
It’s no secret that Hollywood and overpaid socialites love to stick their nose or, in this case, their fingers where they do not belong. Almora apparently wanted to be the next Trump-hating tough guy to prove his “resistance.”
