In response to Donald Trump’s decision to ban immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries, Americans took to the airports and streets in protest. In response to those people, former MLB player Aubrey Huff complained online like a big baby.
These demonstrations happened on Saturday and Sunday. Not that it really matters—taking the day off to protest, or not having a job, aren’t delegitimizing—but those are days off from work for many people. Huff used a classic first-down call in the playbook of whining about protests: Don’t you have anything better to do?
