      1/ As much as I enjoy Trump getting booed at a UFC event, I’m reminded of a story my dad told about RFK. Bobby was a senator from NY - and he was going to a Sox game in Boston. My dad was his press secretary. The Sox wanted to introduce Bobby, have him wave to the crowd.

      2/ This is like ‘67. My dad tells him, “Don’t do it. They’ll boo you.” Bobby says “Frank, we’re in Massachusetts. It’s Kennedy country. In case you forgot, my brother was a senator here. Then he was president. The martyred president from Massachusetts. I think I’ll be ok.”

      3/ So in maybe the 5th inning, the PA announcer at Fenway says, “Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to a son of Massachusetts, Senator Robert Francis Kennedy.” The chorus of boos is deafening. Bobby looks at my dad, shrugs his shoulders.

      4/ The moral of the story, according to Frank Mankiewicz, is that sports fans will almost always boo políticians when given the opportunity.

          To be fair, he was no longer president when this happened...
