Former Major League Baseball (MLB) star and San Francisco Giants player Aubrey Huff made a plea online for athletes and ESPN: “leave politics out of sports!”

“I miss the days when #athletes entertained us with the athletic ability, and didn’t bore us with their political opinions! I know the American sports fans will greatly appreciate it! Please @MLB @NHL @NBA @NFL @espn leave politics out of sports!” Huff wrote in a Twitter post on May 7.
