Seems liberals can’t stop protesting, causing annoyances, shouting, hacking this site and our sister site and other conservative sites, censoring conservatives on college campuses, writing horrid emails, marching in streets, planning more protests, rioting, making treasonous statements, denigrating America and the west in general, then going home to smoke pot and pierce something before starting all over again.
Protester causes melee at DC baseball name unveiling
Mon Nov 22 2004 13:00:00 ETBaseball’s big party got thrown a curveball before it even began.
Officials from the sports world and the city government were in Union Station today to confirm what was already widely known—that the Expos are being re-named the Washington Nationals. But before the media event got underway, D-C Statehood Green Party member Adam Eidinger jumped onto the stage holding a sign protesting Mayor Tony Williams’ planned stadium deal.
Eidinger was jumped by several men, including former Washington Senators announcer Charlie Brotman. A tussle ensued, and the podium nearly fell over, before security managed to drag Eidinger off stage.
As for the new name, it’s not really that new. Baseball officials said there were teams named the Nationals in the 1870’s and 1880’s, and that the Senators were originally the Nationals from 1901 to 1956.
