Orioles’ John Angelos Discusses Tweets, Moving Weekend Series

Orioles Exec VP John Angelos appeared on “CBS This Morning” to discuss the recent unrest in Baltimore. Angelos said of his recent tweets about income disparity in the city, “I wrote it because I believe that the difficulty that people have in certain communities in Baltimore ... is a by-product of some failed policies on a national level that have transferred American jobs to foreign countries, and policies that have reacted to the stress in these communities by seeking people out and putting them in jail” (“CBS This Morning,” 5/1).

Angelos also appeared on MSNBC, saying the “state of Maryland and the city of Baltimore and authorities there felt it was necessary” to move this weekend’s home games to St. Petersburg. Angelos: “We of course took their direction on that decision” (“Andrea Mitchell Reports,” MSNBC, 5/1).
