Jake Arrieta Will Not Attend Cubs' White House Ceremony

[madness]

Before Arrieta elaborated on his reasons for not attending, there were plenty of fans whose ears perked up when he declined to go. That comes as a result of his comments after the presidential election in November 2016, when he posted a tweet telling Hollywood celebrities to get lost after the victory of Donald Trump.

During his interview Friday, Arrieta says that he did not vote in the presidential race, and that his comments were “pro-American” as opposed to being supportive of one candidate or the other.
