KK Praises Unvaxxed Kansas City Royals Whilst Whit Merrifield Clarifies Decision

The COVID conversation continues to focus on the Kansas City Royals as columnists and pundits from throughout the world take on the team. 

There's been a PR push to refocus the story on the team . . . 

Notice that "apologies" still don't include a promise to take the controversial shot.

In fairness one of the top local conservative talkers shares his unique perspective that's worth a listen . . .

That I don't love my teammates and I don't want to fight for my teammates," Whit Merrifield told Cody & Gold. "I've been with this organization for 12 years the front office has been the same my entire career they're like family to me... The community is greatly important to me and for my words to reflect anything besides that is something that is not okay with and I really felt like I needed to clarify it."
