Red Socks celebrate World Cup Series Championship

SOURCE -- Just hours after the official White House website listed its event between President Trump and the Boston Red Sox as the "Red Socks," the sports-challenged communications department made another blunder at Boston's expense.

Apparently, the Red Sox had not only won the 2018 World Series but they were also the 2018 "World Cup Series Champions." At least, that was how the official White House transcript referred to the World Series champs for their visit Thursday.

The Boston Red Sox took a moment during the 2019 season to celebrate the team’s 2018 World Series Championship at the White House yesterday, as is customary by championship teams. Leading up to the visit most of the conversation was in regards to the fact that many of the Red Sox stars, and even Manager Alex Cora, decided not to attend the ceremony. However, the topic of conversation surrounding Boston’s visit soon changed.

At first, I wasn’t even going to give this any attention but the more I found out about the mistake on the part of the White House, I figured I had to touch on it because anyone who spells 'Red Sox' as 'Red Socks' is an absolute lunatic.

I’m not one to dive into politics but when something like this happens I just can help myself. I really pay attention enough to care about policies. I have my morals and I tend to vote for whoever falls closest in-line with those. I could care less about tax policies or a politician’s policy regarding gerrymandering. But the second that you misspell the name of the World Champs you sir have lost my vote.

The reality is that there’s a higher percent chance that Drake writes his own lyrics than Trump writing that schedule which makes it all the more entertaining. Just thinking about your local nerd who scored a sweet internship at the White House for the summer typing out the words ‘Boston Red Socks,’ because how could America’s finest city be so grammatically wrong. Oh, and he’s confident that he’s overheard his dad talking about the ‘World Cup Series’ from time to time, either every October or during the summer every four years.

Now that I think about it, this might just be a political tactic on the part of Trump to score some votes up in liberal New York City. Absolutely genius move by 45.
