Exclusion of people based on politics is the beginning of Fascism.

Just because he linked shooting, to the race for the White House, it wasn't humorous? But shooting deaths are SO funny!

Pathetic! People need to grow a thicker skin! In 2020 apparently there is no such thing as a sense of humour anymore! Wow just wow! Y'all just mad because he isn't a brainwashed sheep

Supporting a POTUS that LarryBaer & the board doesn’t like keeps AubreyHuff from a Giants’ reunion. Larry Baer caught on film beating his wife (link below) is totally fine with these despicable hypocrites! All Giants players should boycott the reunion!

MLB workplace discrimination over politics

Controversial statements? What?

Looks like the jokes on Huff guy 🤣🤣🤣

What's hysterical is that domestic abuser Larry Baer has just ruined the reunion for everyone. The shadow of his wife beating scandal and petty Trump Resistance will hang over the entire event. Meanwhile Aubrey Huff becomes a sympathetic figure and will be celebrated among MAGA

GOOD. Misogyny and racism has no place in baseball. The first amendment does not work how these idiots believe. Actions/words have consequences. Gained much respect for the giants organization

Controversial according the leftist media dogs.

KING AUBREY

Yet guy who pushed his wife is welcomed with open arms. BTW, pretty sure its illegal to discriminate against someone's political opinions in Cali.

Meh.

There’s nothing more fragile than the progressive ego.

Didn’t their CEO beat his wife on camera? Sheesh... I guess you think that’s okay because at least he didn’t tweet. Thank goodness I haven’t watched anything on your network in years- and won’t start now. You SUCK.

The SFGiantsFans are mad about tweets from a former player and support for the current US President, but beating your wife in public as the CEO of the team is fine.... AubreyHuff

“Controversial statements” Aka supporting President Trump

So he is not invited to the party because of who he supports.

CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENTS

If I was a Giants Fan I would turn up at the game with his Jersey on.

Because he supports our president? This is getting ridiculous. Liberals are like Hitler.

So you can beat your wife...get invited back. You use first amendment right to support issues and realDonaldTrump and.....not allowed back. Fascist

I do agree with gun safety, however, ya he shouldn’t kid about gun violence... that was over the line.... no matter if your a Democrat or Republican....

Worst thing that's happened to him since being named Aubrey

So no more FreeSpeech ?AubreyHuff has a right to his political opinions TDS is real! Trump2020Landslide

There is not a God damn thing wrong with his tweets. We need more parents like him! Trump2020

He's another Schilling that deserves to be shunned.

Good!

Thoughts and prayers.

Good.

👏

Couldn't have happened to a nicer asshole.

Good

Sorry Aubrey, welcome to the new liberal America. Freedom of speech if you belong to the radical left only.

Cancel culture claims another.

oh no,,, must have slipped out the truth and we can't have that

Good...he’s a toxic *ick

Good.

Yeah well, no one wants to be associated with an asshole like that. Good for the Giants.

He has a right to speak freely. The Giants have the right to protect their brand. The comment about the Iranian women was offensive. The comment about Bernie Sanders and guns was irresponsible.

I’m very liberal and left . I think this is too much and wrong . They are baseball players - they aren’t the smartest group of people in the world . I’m huge phillies fan - Lenny dykstra and curt shilling are idiots . Oh well . Huff should be there .

Aubrey Huff doesn't seem very bright.

Huff is a coward to put his original comments out there and then pretend that they mean nothing when he's caught.

Did he attend Stephen Miller’s wedding?

trying to stay relevant in cyberspace means he can no longer enjoy real-life things

He's probably better off staying away from that shitty city anyways

Good riddance
