Dexter Fowler unapologetic for criticism of Trump's travel ban

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler said he did not regret comments he made to ESPN.com last week in which he called attempts by President Donald Trump to institute a travel ban on certain Muslim-majority countries "unfortunate." Fowler's wife, Darya, was born in Iran, one of seven countries listed on Trump's first executive order, which had been blocked by a federal district court in Seattle. After an appeals court refused to reinstate the travel ban, the president has promised a new executive order this week on immigration.
