Mookie Betts announced his intention to visit the White House with the Los Angeles Dodgers, following their acceptance of an invitation from President Trump to celebrate their 2024 World Series title. The decision has sparked controversy, with various opinions surfacing. Dodgers leadership insists the visit is a celebration of their achievement, not a political stance. Betts reiterated the same sentiment, focusing on the team's success rather than individual narratives. Previously, he attended a White House celebration under President Biden but skipped the visit with the Red Sox in 2019 during Trump's tenure.
"No matter what I say or what I do, people are gonna take it as political, but that's definitely not what it is. This is about what the Dodgers were able to accomplish last year."
"This is not about me; I don't want anything to be about me. This is about the Dodgers. Because these boys were there for me."
