Ana Navarro clashes with 'The View' co-hosts, declares there's 'no way in hell' she would meet with Trump
"The View" co-host Ana Navarro said Tuesday there was "no way in hell" that she would meet with President Donald Trump.
During a segment on the ABC daytime talk show, the panel discussed Trump's Thursday night dinner with comedian Bill Maher, sports commentator Stephen A. Smith and musician Kid Rock at the White House. This led to a discussion among the co-hosts about whether they would accept an invitation to dinner with the president.
While co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously worked for Trump, said they would accept an invitation, Navarro responded, "Hell to the no."
"There is no way in hell, no way in hell I would want to break bread or be in the same room with a man whose administration is hunting Latinos," Navarro said.
TRUMP HOSTED A DINNER WITH – WAIT FOR IT – STEPHEN A SMITH, KID ROCK AND BILL MAHER
"It’s not 'Lady and the Tramp.' You’re not going to slurp pasta," Haines replied jokingly.
"No, but, listen, stop, this is not funny!" Navarro responded. "What he’s doing to Latinos is criminal."
She clarified that she had no interest in meeting with Trump because it would make "zero difference" to his administration.
"I know that he has seen the polls of Latinos going against him, that he’s lost 50 points of support with Latinos, and his administration has doubled down on their cruelty," Navarro said. "They are killing Latinos, chasing them, hunting them, racially profiling them, torturing them, sending them to places in far-off Africa. You think I’m going to go share a meal with him?"
Haines pointed out that Navarro has met with and questioned other Republican politicians, including Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., but Navarro suggested that there were other ways to push back against political figures.
"You know who’s going to hold him accountable? The people who are going to vote in the midterm elections," Navarro said.
Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg agreed with Navarro, saying there was no real reason to sit down with Trump.
"He’s the criminal-in-chief," Hostin said. "I think that he would not listen, and I don’t think this is a normal presidency. I think it’s abhorrent, and I think it’s abnormal. I think what he’s doing to Latinos, I think what he’s doing to African Americans, I think what he’s doing to the LGBTQ+ community, I think the fact that he’s enriching himself, it’s so disgusting and abhorrent. I don't think I would meet with him."
"This is a man who started out racially profiling people," Goldberg said. "It’s not the first time he’s done it. He’s done it for years, and I cannot, in good conscience, try to reason with someone who has decided that I’m barely human."
Fox News Digital reached out to ABC and the White House for comment but did not immediately receive a response from either.
Despite several co-hosts' refusal to meet with Trump, fellow co-host Joy Behar said in a New York Magazine interview published Friday that she would like to see the president appear on the show.
"I’d love Donald Trump to take the heat," Behar said.
Vice President JD Vance appeared on "The View" in June and sparred with the co-hosts on issues including immigration.

In an interview with "Fox & Friends" Friday, Kid Rock praised the dinner with Trump, Maher and Smith, saying the group had a great conversation despite having different political leanings.
"It was epic," he said. "And the thing that was the greatest, there's so many points, I could do an hour on it, is that, you know, two Democrats, two Republicans sit down, break bread, have laughs, talk about, have tough conversations on a lot of the issues."
Supermotocross champion Levi Kitchen wants to try tournament bass fishing when he hangs up his helmet
Levi Kitchen just won the 2026 Monster Energy SMX 250 Class World Championship. But the 25-year-old already has his eye on another competitive pursuit for whenever he decides to hang up his helmet.

The Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider is an avid angler who spends much of his downtime on the water. And while he's got plenty left to accomplish on a dirt bike, Kitchen told OutKick OutDoors in an exclusive interview that he'd love to try his hand at tournament fishing someday.
In fact, he's already gotten a little taste of what that world looks like.
Earlier this year, Kitchen participated in the Bassmaster Classic Celebrity Pro-Am, where he teamed up with professional angler Tristan McCormick. The two didn't exactly dominate the leaderboard, but Kitchen came away with a few fish, a new friend and an even greater appreciation for the athletes who make their living chasing bass.
"It was amazing. Me and Tristan, we had a great time," Kitchen said. "I didn't know Tristan going into it. I'd just heard his name, but he's a great dude."
McCormick, who grew up near Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Tennessee, was already familiar with motocross thanks to the amateur racing held there. And Kitchen was pleased to discover that he could hold his own on the fishing side of things, too.
"He actually said I wasn't like, you know, sometimes he gets people that go to those events and they say they can fish a little bit and they really don't know what's going on," Kitchen recalled. "But I was proud to at least catch a few fish. We didn't do great, but it was a blast."
More importantly, the experience gave Kitchen a firsthand look at just how demanding professional bass fishing can be.
"It was an eye-opener, too," he admitted. "I've always said, when I'm done racing, I want to give that a shot. I really do. But I have so much more respect for those guys. If I ever wanted to do that, I'd have to really buckle down. You have to put so much time, so much time into it."
And it's not like Kitchen is a newcomer to fishing.
Growing up in Washington state, he developed a love for the outdoors thanks in part to his father. Around age 14 or 15, he discovered an old fly rod in his dad's shop, started practicing casts in the yard and quickly fell in love with fly fishing.
Watch Levi Kitchen's entire interview with OutKick OutDoors here:
These days, Kitchen lives in Florida, where bass fishing has become his primary obsession. But he still makes time to return home to Washington for an annual steelhead fishing trip with his father, friends and family — a tradition that has lasted roughly a decade.
"I still love it," Kitchen said. "When the racing's done down the road, you'll probably find me on a river fly fishing a lot, or on a bass boat. Just maybe not Florida in the summertime."
Fishing also provides a welcome contrast to the intensity of professional motocross.

Kitchen said he and fellow rider Malcolm Stewart frequently talk about fishing in Florida, and he suspects the sport appeals to motocross athletes because it's such a departure from their day jobs.
"We get to kind of calm down and be a little more present than when you're just wide open on a dirt bike," he explained.
But there's still a competitive element, even when championship points aren't on the line.
"It's another way to be, I guess, kind of competitive with yourself," Kitchen said. "You obviously don't want to go out there and not catch a fish, but sometimes that happens."
And as much as Kitchen enjoys catching fish, he also appreciates the atmosphere surrounding competitive bass fishing.
At the Bassmaster Classic Pro-Am, he found himself surrounded by athletes and celebrities from across the sports world, including NFL Hall of Famer Randy Moss. Kitchen was particularly amused by Moss' impressive collection of fishing boats.
"First, Randy Moss, I'm like, who's this guy with two of the same specced-out, crazy sweet boats?" Kitchen recalled. "And they're like, 'Oh, that's Randy.'"
He also noticed something that set the fishing crowd apart from what he's accustomed to in motocross: Competitors were hanging out together at the hotel bar the night before the tournament.
"You do not see that in dirt bike racing," he said. "They put their game face on when it's time to fish, but just the whole event and weekend is pretty laid-back, which is kind of my style."
Of course, Kitchen isn't preparing to trade his Kawasaki for a bass boat just yet.
The newly crowned 250 SMX World Champion, who helped end a seven-year championship drought for Pro Circuit Kawasaki, has made it clear that he wants a long career in motocross.
After recovering from a serious crash at Daytona in 2025, Kitchen said he's learned the importance of racing smarter and protecting his longevity in the sport.
"I want to race for a lot more years to come," he said.
And he's certainly not satisfied with one championship. His goals for 2027 include winning both a Supercross and a Pro Motocross title before eventually moving up from the 250 class.
So, no, Levi Kitchen isn't walking away from moto anytime soon.
But when the day finally comes to hang up the helmet, don't be surprised if The Chef trades his dirt bike for a bass boat.

New York Knicks trip on opening night with T-shirt flub as they hang first banner in 53 years
The Knicks waited 53 years to hang a championship banner at Madison Square Garden. Naturally, they still found a way to trip on Opening Night.
New York is getting roasted for an awkward giveaway T-shirt gaffe, made funnier by the team proudly posting the evidence on social media.
Ahead of the ring ceremony on Tuesday, the Knicks previewed the shirts draped across every seat in the arena.
Instead of honoring the actual 2025-26 title fans bled for, the shirts read "2026-27 Champions Night."

Instead of quietly eating the reprint bill, the Knicks posted the evidence and let the internet have its way with them. Then again, misprints make fortunes in coin collecting. Maybe MSG didn't blow the giveaway so much as hand 20,000 fans a collector's item.
For good measure, they also hung their NBA Cup banner to crowd the rafters.
When that 2025-26 banner finally joins 1970 and 1973 to mark the franchise's third championship, it officially closes a miserable half-century drought, cementing this team into New York sports immortality.
Keeping that crown will be a nightmare. The East got a lot meaner over the summer, headlined by LeBron James taking his talents to Philadelphia. LeBron hunting one last ring with the Sixers feels cooked up specifically to ruin New York's party.
For now, the Knicks are on top of the basketball world.

TJ Watt's wife breaks ranks with NFL march toward Paris game questioning how playing there makes sense
Count Dani Watt as the lone voice in the NFL wilderness questioning the league's wisdom about playing Sunday's game in France amid civil unrest that has rocked Paris and other parts of the country.
Even as the league's march toward playing its first-ever game in France seems inexorable with no one else publicly questioning going into a riot-torn country, Watt asked one simple question on her Instagram story relating to how the game remains on schedule:
"Tell me how this one makes sense???" Watt posted.
Dani Watt is T.J. Watt's wife.
T.J. Watt is one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' best players and perhaps their best defensive player.
And as such, he's scheduled to board a charter flight with his teammates to France on Thursday in advance of the Steelers playing the New Orleans Saints at Stade de France, 20 miles or so from the center of Paris, where cars were burned and stores have been looted in recent days.
You know what else Dani Watt is?
She's the first person connected to the NFL to ask this fundamental and logical question. No one else has done that.
No one else – not any coach, player or even any politician in either Louisiana or Pennsylvania – has been so candid about what is about to happen.
And what is about to happen is that the NFL is sending two teams to a foreign country dealing with burning, looting, protesting, rioting, arrests and other violence, so the teams can play a football game within driving distance of the problems.
So, to echo Watt, how does this one make sense?
The NFL has said, and insisted again on Tuesday, that all is well.
OutKick has reported multiple times in the past three days that the league is full steam ahead on playing this game.
Security has been heightened.
Contingencies have been considered.
And, dang it, we're playing in France, the NFL says.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS ARRIVE IN FRANCE WITH SAFETY TOP OF MIND AHEAD OF NFL'S FIRST PARIS GAME
NFL executive vice president for Club Business, International and League Events Peter O'Reilly was asked Tuesday about the NFL's ongoing plans to play the game on Sunday.
And he went through the litany of precautions the NFL has been "vigilant" about in leading up to the game.
You know what the NFL hasn't been vigilant about? Stuff that hasn't happened. Stuff that might happen.
The situation on the ground is unpredictable because the students, communists, anarchists, anti-Israel and other protesters that have collaborated to make France a worse place to visit in recent days might do something no one expects.

No one knows what that could be because these people are not predictable. They don't always run a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1.
They sometimes throw a bomb. Perhaps literally.
The NFL is confidently gambling none of that happens. And it probably will not. But nobody knows for sure.
And so the question Dani Watt is asking echoes in logic: How does this one make sense?
LPGA star Charley Hull has friend to thank for not getting drunken forehead tattoo after night out at the club
The Smokin' Charley Hull that we all know and love almost became an unrecognizable forehead tattooed version of herself. The LPGA star and everyone else has a friend of hers to thank for not going the forehead tattoo route.
She revealed during a discussion with Golfweek that a night out drinking at a club in Ibiza at just 17 ended with her receiving a tattoo on her foot. It was a tattoo that read "hold tight" and it nearly ended up across her forehead.
When asked if she was to get a tattoo, what she would get, Charley revealed that she already had a few and told the story about her drunken night out.

"I’ve got three tattoos. I’ve got one on my foot. I got drunk when I was in Ibiza when I was 17 years old. Me and my friend James went out partying," she explained.
"I was coming back from the club, and I thought it would be a great idea to get a tattoo across my head, because me and my best mate, James, our favorite thing we always said to each other was 'Hold tight, hold tight.'"
She continued, "He wouldn’t let me get it on my forehead. Instead, I got it on my foot and it says, 'hold tight.' He got a matching one on his arm."
CHARLEY HULL PULLS OFF SAVAGE LOTTERY PRANK ON HER CADDIE AT WOMEN'S BRITISH OPEN
The next morning, Charley woke up hungover without any memory whatsoever of getting a tattoo, let alone trying to get one on her forehead.
"'Bloody hell, was I that drunk last night? I walked back with a plastic bag on my foot.' He said, 'No, Charley. That's the wrapping after you've had your tattoo,'" she said.
"I was like, 'What? I got a tattoo?' He said, 'Yeah, you were trying to get it on your forehead and we had to stop you there.'"
Charley's other two tattoos don't have quite the story that this one does. And neither of them ended up on her forehead.
She has her ex-husband's name on her wrist, which she says she's tried to have removed, and a lightning bolt on her finger to match a tattoo another of her friends has.
One out of three isn't a great average when it comes to tattoos. Two out of three is much better. Thankfully, she didn't end up with a forehead tattoo. Not many people can pull that look off.
Getting someone's name you're in a relationship with tattooed on your body is almost always a bad idea, but not as bad as an inked-up forehead is.
NAACP requests Pennsylvania home pull Halloween decorations hanging fake bodies from trees
The Bucks County NAACP called for a Pennsylvania home to remove its Halloween decorations on Thursday, accusing the display of carrying a "painful historical significance" for Black Americans.
In a statement on social media, the Bucks County NAACP reported on a complaint earlier this month regarding a home featuring fake bodies wrapped in black body bags and hung from trees. The organization felt "deeply concerned" over this display, remarking that "something can be legally permissible and still be profoundly harmful."
"For Black Americans, this imagery carries a painful historical significance rooted in lynching and racial terror," Bucks County NAACP said. "While we recognize that Halloween decorations are often intended to frighten or shock, intent does not erase impact."
The organization has spoken with the Bristol Borough council on the matter, but it emphasized that it was focused more on "voluntary reconsideration of the display" rather than forcibly removing the decorations.
"This is not about restricting Halloween celebrations or freedom of expression. It is about historical awareness, empathy, and respect for our neighbors. We cannot change our history, but we can choose how we respond when that history is invoked in our communities today," the statement read.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Bucks County NAACP confirmed the council has responded to their concerns and has spoken to the homeowner at the heart of the conflict. The organization also clarified that it has not advocated for government censorship or asserted that the resident committed a crime with the display.
"We are encouraging the homeowner to voluntarily reconsider the display and are interested in working with borough leadership on opportunities for community education and constructive dialogue. Ultimately, our goal is not to assign motives or create division. It is to encourage historical awareness, empathy, and respect for the experiences of others. We cannot begin to bridge divides we refuse to acknowledge," Bucks County NAACP President Adrienne King told Fox News Digital.

King also said that since the story has gotten attention, she has received several personal calls and messages about similar displays outside of Bucks County, suggesting "the issue extends beyond one homeowner or one community."
In a comment to Fox News Digital, Bristol Borough Manager James Dillon confirmed that he and other members of the council spoke to the homeowner. The homeowner informed them that the display was not meant to offend and that he has no intention of removing it.

The situation resembled a controversial Halloween display in Houston, Texas, last year which depicted two individuals dressed in red hats, black shirts, khaki pants and black masks being hung from a wooden gallows topped with a Mexican flag.
NBA has no issue with LeBron James' helicopter commute, 76ers star calls transportation 'just another way'
The helicopter that new 76ers superstar LeBron James uses to commute between New York and Philadelphia remains a topic of conversation in NBA circles. Just ahead of the league’s 2026-27 season, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver characterized the Fanatics-branded aircraft and the financial structure of the arrangement as "perfectly appropriate."
James played in the Sixers’ preseason finale Friday and was asked about the chatter surrounding his preferred method of travel on days when he needs to commute from the team’s facility to New York City.
"Yeah, I’ve done it before," and described the rotorcraft as "just another way of transportation."
"That’s all," James added.
Fanatics, which was founded by former 76ers minority owner Michael Rubin, is covering the costs associated with transporting James on the roughly 40-minute, one-way trip.
According to multiple reports, James’ estimated commute costs for Sixers home games are expected to total just under $1 million this season, depending on how often he uses the helicopter. The Athletic calculated that flying James to and from 41 home games at $4,000 per flight would create a $328,000 tab. That figure does not include trips for practices, though it also does not account for flight cancellations.
In 2022, Rubin said he decided to sell his stake to "ensure our new businesses don’t conflict with my responsibilities as part-owner of the Sixers."
Rubin said in June 2022 that he decided to sell his stake "to ensure our new businesses don’t conflict with my responsibilities as part-owner of the Sixers." Rubin was part of the ownership group that purchased the 76ers for an estimated $290 million in 2011. But as Fanatics expanded into sports betting and other business ventures, Rubin decided it was time to sell his estimated 10% stake in Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment.
Rubin continues to be a self-described "life-long fan" of the team.
During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Silver made clear that there was no reason to be concerned about either the arrangement between James and Fanatics or potential salary-cap circumvention.

"He has a deal with Fanatics," Silver said just hours before the Detroit Pistons rallied for a comeback win over the Boston Celtics to tip off the new season. " . . . Part of his deal is they're going to supply a helicopter to him as long as it's just a deal between the Fanatics and LeBron and no team is involved; there's no rules issue there whatsoever."
After signing with the Sixers in free agency, James decided his primary residence would be in the country's largest city. He is not the first NBA player to do so while playing for Philadelphia. Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick also lived in New York during his two seasons with the Sixers. But James’ decision to make the routine trip by helicopter has drawn particular attention.
After 76ers practice has wrapped and news conferences are underway, James’ teammates have occasionally paused and laughed as the noise from his helicopter taking off from the roof of the team’s business center briefly drowns out their responses.
The 76ers visit Madison Square Garden to face the reigning champion New York Knicks Tuesday night.
Convicted bank robber returns to old tricks with ‘old man’ mask in Florida heists, feds say
A convicted bank robber allegedly returned to a familiar disguise while robbing two Florida banks on supervised release, donning an "old man" mask and fleeing in a getaway vehicle tied to his earlier crimes, federal authorities said.
David Sartin Jr., 40, of St. Petersburg, faces two bank robbery charges after investigators say he targeted banks weeks apart while concealing his face behind a prosthetic mask with gray facial hair.
The allegations follow a sentence of more than 10 years in federal prison in a case involving five Texas bank robberies, during which Sartin wore a similar disguise, according to a criminal complaint reviewed by Fox News Digital.
His supervised release began in May 2025. Investigators allege he robbed the first Florida bank in August 2026.
"In all of SARTIN JR.’s bank robberies, he used a mask," an FBI special agent wrote in the affidavit.
TWO KENTUCKY BANK EMPLOYEES SHOT AND KILLED DURING ROBBERY, POLICE HUNTING SUSPECT
The first holdup happened Aug. 24 at Valley Bank in Largo, where the suspect entered wearing a straw hat, sports jacket, gloves and a prosthetic face covering, according to investigators.
He approached a teller, demanded money and warned, "no dye packs," the complaint states.
TEEN SUSPECT IN MURDER OF TWO BANK EMPLOYEES IN KENTUCKY LEADS POLICE ON WILD 130 MPH CHASE
As the teller gathered cash and activated a silent alarm, the robber repeatedly urged the employee to hurry, a bank manager told investigators.
"Until we meet again," the suspect said after collecting the money, according to the manager’s account.
THIEF USES WAYMO AS A GETAWAY CAR
Authorities say he escaped with $2,900, wedging a yellow wet-floor sign between the exit doors before fleeing toward a nearby church.
Surveillance video showed the suspect retrieving a bicycle, riding into a nature preserve and leaving the area in a Toyota FJ Cruiser, according to the affidavit.
Investigators traced the vehicle’s movements through video from surrounding businesses, city trucks, a police cruiser and a school bus. The Toyota was the same vehicle used in several of Sartin’s earlier Texas robberies, authorities said.
On Sept. 15, a similarly disguised suspect entered a Truist Bank in St. Petersburg wearing a flat cap, glasses, a sports jacket and an "old man" mask with a gray mustache and whiskers.
PHILADELPHIA MAN IN 'CHUCKY' MASK ACCUSED OF TERRORIZING CITIZENS NABBED IN LAS VEGAS AFTER MANHUNT
He handed a teller a note demanding cash without dye and fled with approximately $2,554, according to the complaint.
The teller suspected the man was wearing a mask and told investigators he "did not move like an old man would," the FBI agent wrote.
THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ON YOUR STREET CORNER: LAWFUL SPYING OR CONSTITUTIONALLY PROBLEMATIC?
By then, the FBI was monitoring Sartin’s home with a surveillance camera. Video captured the Toyota leaving before the second robbery and returning afterward, when a man resembling Sartin unloaded a bicycle, according to the affidavit.
The following evening, investigators watched Sartin change the vehicle’s appearance. Investigators said he spray-painted the vehicle’s white roof black.
Sartin was arrested Sept. 19 on a warrant for violating his supervised release. Searches uncovered a bicycle and clothing similar to those seen in the robbery video, authorities said.
Agents searching his storage unit found an "old man" mask they said matched the disguise worn during both robberies, along with glasses, clothing and a fake handgun.
In a guest room where Sartin occasionally stayed, investigators also found another mask and a journal identifying him as its author. Its title page included the words, "God’s Best friend is a Bank Robber!" according to the complaint.
Sartin’s previous convictions stretch back nearly two decades. He was convicted of attempted bank robbery in Mississippi in 2008 following a failed holdup involving Halloween masks and disguises.
In 2018, he was sentenced to 10 years and one month in federal prison in the Texas bank robbery case.
He now faces up to 20 years in prison on each new robbery count if convicted, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida.
Have MLB home run celebrations gone too far? Junior Caminero's long run around the bases sparks debate
Major League Baseball is viewed as one of the more traditional sports, along with golf, where an expected standard developed over 150 years of history. But things change over time, and in recent years, there's been a concerted effort to allow players to show more personality, be more demonstrative, and celebrate their success.
Some pitchers now demonstrably react after striking out opposing hitters, to varying degrees. Mets reliever Jefry Yan being the most prominent example. Many hitters are now more willing to wear their emotions on their sleeve, in moments big and small.
How you feel about this can relate to your age, the generation you grew up watching, or willingness to change with the times. But there are celebrations, and then there are celebrations. Monday night, in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians, we had the latter.
Needing a win to get to the World Series, the Rays were up 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, facing Cleveland's best reliever, Cade Smith. Caminero came up with a runner at first and nobody out, crushing a line drive to left that hit the foul pole for a two-run homer.
A huge moment for the 23-year-old second-year player that put his team one step closer to a championship. And Caminero enjoyed it. Really, really enjoyed it.
At nearly 39 seconds, it was the second-slowest home run trot in the Statcast tracking era, per MLB.com's Sarah Lang. 39 seconds! To run the bases. And it's not just Caminero.
In game two of the NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers, catcher William Contreras hit a game-tying home run in the bottom of the fifth and, again, admired it and took an extraordinary amount of time to get around the bases.

Reactions to Caminero's example were, well, mixed, to say the least.
ESPN's Jeff Passan posted the video on X, "This is how you celebrate a home run in a game that could send you to the World Series. Junior Caminero is ready."
Other fans called it a "disgrace," comparing it to how Derek Jeter would celebrate a big homer. One fan wrote, "Junior Caminero is a disgrace to the game of baseball. Imagine someone on the Yankees acting like this in a big playoff game. Imagine playing in the same division as Derek Jeter and acting this classless. There’s an argument that the Rays should bench Caminero. This isn’t how you act."
Another had a similar sentiment, calling it a "slap in the face" to baseball.

"An absolute disgrace to baseball and everything this great game stands for! I first saw this video when Fry Daddy posted it, and I still can’t believe what I witnessed. Congratulations to both teams—one has a chance to win its first World Series, and that’s awesome. But what he did was an embarrassment, a complete disgrace, and a slap in the face to the game I love."
No other sport has the number of "unwritten" rules that baseball has traditionally had in place. Don't show up the other team being one of them. But the celebrations this postseason raise the question, should those "rules" exist in the first place?
There are two valid sides to it; one says that baseball is about tradition and big celebrations are against the tradition of celebrating like you've been there before. The other is that players showing their personalities and emotions is important to modernize the game and bring in fans who enjoy seeing how much the moment means. Even Shohei Ohtani, who is rarely demonstrative, had a big celebration after hitting a home run in game four of the NLCS.
Cade Smith, the closer who gave up the homer to Caminero, was asked his thoughts about the celebration after the game and had a magnanimous answer, saying, "It's not my style but I guess if I don’t like it, I shouldn’t give up home runs."
Videos of Caminero's home-run, uh, walking trot, exploded on social media, and isn't that what MLB wants? Fans who don't normally see baseball to get the passion and energy and excitement that the postseason brings? On the other hand, though, is that the best example of it?
Though, again, if you're going to celebrate anything, a huge home run to give your team a stronger chance to reach the World Series is probably the time to do it. Caminero and Contreras will have a chance to celebrate in the actual World Series when it starts on Friday. Just imagine if one of them hits a walk-off homer.
American Airlines jet suffers brake trouble, blown tire after landing at Chicago O'Hare: FAA
An American Airlines flight from Spain experienced brake issues and a blown tire after landing at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Tuesday afternoon.
American Airlines Flight 41, a Boeing 787-800 traveling from Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport in Spain, landed safely at O'Hare around 2:30 p.m. local time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Fox News Digital in a statement.
The FAA said the crew reported a brake issue followed by "a blown tire" after landing.
"Passengers deplaned via stairs and were bused to the terminal," the FAA said, adding that the agency "will investigate."
The airline said 234 passengers and 11 crew members were aboard.
American Airlines said first responders met the aircraft "out of an abundance of caution" and that passengers were safely transported to the terminal by bus.
The airline said the aircraft has been taken out of service for inspection by its maintenance team and apologized to customers for the experience.
