The Los Angeles Dodgers were in Chicago for the first two games.....

of NLCS and were booked to stay at a Trump motel. The team players refused to stay at the motel due the many racial comments that Trump made! Good for them and their way of telling Trump to "stick it"! There is a link on MSM.

I heard it was only Gonzalez, but on closer reading, he asked for the team to lodge him in another hotel back in May. Guess he got the ball rolling.

The hotel required a deposit to hold the rooms, and the Dodgers didn't know until early Friday morning, after their victory against the Washington Nationals in the Division Series, that they'd need them.

The Dodgers found accommodations elsewhere.
