A’s catcher Bruce Maxwell stood out as the only major leaguer to join the national anthem protests, and that led to one instance of mistreatment back in his hometown.

Maxwell, whose father was in the Army, told TMZ Sports that he was refused service by a pro-President Trump waiter in Alabama.

“He was like, ‘You’re the guy who took the knee? I voted for Trump and I stand for everything he stands for,’” Maxwell recalled for the gossip site.

Maxwell was out to lunch with a longtime friend and city councilman. Maxwell said he asked the manager if they could get a different server, a request that was obliged.

“That’s where I’m from,” Maxwell said. “Unless you’re subject to it, you won’t understand it, you won’t feel it. I’m 26 years old. I’m very respectful. I’m very educated. And it still happens to this day. That’s the reason that I’m kneeling — stuff like that.”

Trump recently used a rally in Huntstville, Ala., to declare verbal war on Colin Kaepernick and the NFL.

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when someone disrespects our flag to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now! Out. He’s fired! He’s fired!'” Trump said in September, sparking a now-month-long battle with NFL players.
