Send Team USA to White House!`

The other thing to think about is, do the players want the "press" digging around in their lives?

Anybody that gets invited and likes Trump has the risk of having their lives destroyed.

Right now is the perfect time to get some good press for pool and the Mosconi Cup and Team USA. Ask your U.S. Senators to ask the White House to invite them in and thank them for making Pool Great Again in America!

Heck ya, go Team USA! Color me as a Patriot!

Was nothing like that, he posted something that was said on a TV show - Tosh.O I think.

So whoever said he spewed racist stuff is wrong. He did say stuff, but it was regarding the tv show.

Good news is, the reporter had some racist posts and lost his job.

Pretty much the facts right there.

And one of the big differences is the kid responsible for raising a few million for a children's hospital posted that stuff from TV in exchanges when he was in high school. There were also posts from when he was a bit older that made it pretty clear what kind of guy he really is, as in none of that kind of crap is how he views life. So it was obvious the reporter was purely doing a "hit" job and not presenting the truth.

The reporter's posts came when he was out of high school and an "adult" and not as part of a discussion/riff on something he saw on TV. Actually revealed a bit of who he really is.

Hospital got the money, the young man appropriately celebrated and the Des Moines Register (also known as Pravda to some of us for years, lol) came away with much deserved egg on its face.
