Keith Olbermann Tells MLB to ‘Confiscate’ the St. Louis Cardinals Franchise After Accusing Them of Trump-Inspired Celebration

The St. Louis Cardinals deny that their players engaged in a Trump-inspired home run celebration on Sunday, but good luck telling that to Keith Olbermann.

On Sunday, Alec Burleson hit a home run in the third inning of the Cardinals’ game against the Braves. As he was rounding the bases, Burleson and a couple of teammates in the dugout put a hand over their ears. They raised a fist in what appeared to be a tribute to President Trump’s reaction following his assassination attempt on July 13.

While the Cardinals team spokesman claims the celebration was inspired by Burleson’s time in college as a DJ and not a tribute to Trump, Olbermann sees it differently.

“On Monday, Olbeermann called the Cardinals “Nazis” and told MLB to seize the team.

Attn

ban these guys from baseball for life, confiscate the

franchise, and implode the stadium Cardinals = Trump Nazis Stick to sports FUCK THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS America has had enough of this shit.”

Sunday also saw another, much more obvious Trump-inspired celebration after Tampa’s Taylor Walls hit a double against the Yankees.

Olbermann has not yet commented on Walls’s celebration.
