Aubrey Huff lives in the paradise that is San Diego, which he refers to as "liberal hell."
Huff was raised in Fort Worth and is one of the best athletes to ever come out of Brewer High School. He graduated in 1995 and was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 2015. His post-playing career has seen him become a version of Rush Limbaugh.
Huff's 13-year career in the major leagues ended after the 2012 season, and since then he has become his own right-wing political talk show. Huff's Twitter account essentially got him banned from celebrating an achievement that he had a major role in creating.
On Tuesday morning, the San Francisco Giants informed Huff that he is not invited to their 10-year anniversary celebration of their 2010 World Series championship team that defeated the Rangers in Arlington.
Huff is an unapologetic conservative, and it cost him.
You can disagree with Huff's views on Trump and liberals, but you cannot deny him the right to express himself. This paradigm only works if we are all allowed to express ourselves, and while I don't agree with everything Huff says, or how he says it, I fiercely believe in his right to speak his mind.
To my liberal friends, free speech does not come with an edit button.
If you are going to support former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's right to express himself, then Aubrey Huff must be allowed the same berth to make political statements. Both men's words and actions can be taken as offensive, and both men discovered that their words and actions have consequences.
