Former SF Giants star Aubrey Huff once claimed that America was 'under attack' from those who were 'trying to take away the 1st Amendment'
In February 2020, San Francisco Giants star Aubrey Huff claimed that people's rights to expression were being curbed in America, the second-largest democracy in the world.
Aubrey was a key member of the Giants, winning the World Series in 2010 over the Texas Rangers. When the Giants scheduled a World Series reunion to commemorate their championship triumph 10 years later, Huff was barred from attending due to his inappropriate tweets.
Consequently, the 2× World Series champion was enraged and mentioned that there's no place for free speech in America, saying:
"We live in a country that is under attack. Society is desperately trying to take away our 1st Amendment, our freedom of speech, and our freedom of political association."
