    Its not a lock.....

    Does Yogi know he promotes LGBT rights in sports? Does he know LGBT doesn't mean lettuce greens bacon and tomatoes?

    100k of votes in 30 days gets you consideration, not the award. This isn't all star voting people, lol!

    Based on what? Do you realize very few of these medals get awarded? There is no media optic for the president to get from this.

    Aside from being one of the most beloved athletes in baseball history and his military record (D-Day) there's also this........

    https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/pe...ice-and-civil-rights-and-educational-activism

    I would think with everything accounted he did as much or more than past recipiants like Muhammad Ali, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Arnold Palmer etc.

    What part of "consideration for nomination by petition" did you not comprehend? My point is your congratulations are premature. There is nothing obligating the WH to do anything with this. You want him getting the medal based on supporting LGBT rights in sports....how the fuck is that connected to anything he's done in his career? I don't want to see him become some pawn for political reasons. Wake the fuck up Rick.

    HOLY SHIT! someone needs a nap, take a breath there sparky, where the hell did I say that THAT'S! the ONLY reason I want him in there? Apparently you missed the fact about the worldwide respect & integrity he has through out the sports world, his befriending of black & latino players, or his WW2 record being part of the invasion of Normandy (D-Day). In turn...."Wake the fuck up Tom". Like I said he's done at least as much if not more than many of the other sports recipients. Did this really need explaining?

    One of the best Yogisms I heard was shis wife Carmen telling him "I went to see Doctor Zhivago today. Yogis reply, what the hell is wrong with you now.
