Anthem Tantrum: Trump Disinvites Eagles From White House

[mudwhistle]

“They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem,” Trump tweeted about the Eagles players.

President Donald Trump rescinded an invitation for the Philadelphia Eagles to visit the White House on Tuesday to celebrate their Super Bowl victory.

“They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country,” Trump said in a statement. “The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better.”

He said the fans would still be welcome at the White House on Tuesday but for a different ceremony meant to “honor our great country” and “pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it.”

Several Eagles players, including safety Malcolm Jenkins and defensive end Chris Long, had said they would skip the ceremony due to ongoing attacks by the president against players that had knelt on the field in protest. Other players had waffled on their participation. Eagles officials had left the decision up to the players.

Some NFL players quickly took to social media to challenge the president’s assertion. Former Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith, who played for the team during the Super Bowl, accused the White House of spreading a false narrative and said no one had refused the invitation “simply because Trump ‘insists’ folks stand for the anthem.”

“The men and women that wanted to go should’ve been able to go,” Smith wrote. “It’s a cowardly act to cancel the celebration because the majority of the people don’t want to see you. To make it about the anthem is foolish.”

Seems childish and thin-skinned to disinvite them. What do you think?

Jesus Trump is a full blown pussy. How did this loser ever get to an advanced age. His daddy's money can be the only explanation as he is far too stupid and his mental state is that of an 8 year old. Good lord he is fucked up.

Yeah, he's so fucked up that economy is growing like crazy.

Apparently your priorities are in your ass.

The team should be happy they aren't invited. If they are too good to stand for the anthem they are way too good for the White House. The celebration will go on without them.

It's a shame for the players that wanted to go. Maybe they can think of an appropriate way of letting the others know how they feel.

Not everyone gets invited to the WH and if those idiots don't want to go then they are the ones losing out.

What exactly are they "losing out" on ?

Personally I'd turn down an invitation to statism central (aka the White House) since I wouldn't want any of the corruption to rub off and it would be rank hypocrisy to bow and scrape to politicians and bureaucrats that I have nothing but contempt for.

Well it is considered an honor to be invited to visit the POTUS no matter who the POTUS is.

At least it is to some folks. LOL

Another tradition, custom and value destroyed by the lying a**hole currently called President.

Pffft.

Just another thing for the Democrats to cry over. It is of no importance whatsoever.

You are silly. Dem's are not crying, and the issue is no big deal. It is just one more bad mark for Liar in Chief's record and legacy. He is a divider. He is not well liked. Americans generally disapprove of his immaturity and emotional retardation. Think of it, he is whining about players not standing up for the anthem and lashing out at one of the teams that never participated in kneeling for the pre game anthem.

They won't come, because the next POTUS will be Trump.

Yep and most of the country recognizes that Spooks are dumber than fucking
dirt.

Ahh there it is. Who cares about fucking *******, right? You racist piece of trash.

Fuck you...dipshit.

The Donald is keeping the players and the NFL on the run. He continues
to keep the pressure on them, individually, and the League as a whole.

The NFL is getting a good lesson in Customer Service 101.

It’s not the job of the potus to give shit to NFL players. We have more important things going on than Donald’s fragile ego and your inferiority complex.

Go suck some BBC, chickenhead bitch.

 

[BlindBoo]

No one on the Eagles took a knee last year.

The "BWSP" (big wet sloppy pussy) President cancelled and made a big fuss about the Anthem because only 10 player planned on attending.

It's not about the Anthem or being a patriot, it about Donnie not being worthy of the Office of the President.
He is a disgrace.

right up with there when pro athletes and others refuse to go.

who can be the biggest child these days. the race is still on.

Those that kneel during the anthem are the petulant children. Proud men and women stand and show respect.

Which Eagle did not stand for the Anthem last season?

It's not about that. Only 10 Eagles wanted to come. That's the issue. The so-called president's ego.

Bullshit.
Obama was a disgrace.
Trump is an American first.
This not about a knee.
It's about protesting this country because it was created by White People.
Black players think getting $500,000.00/game is slave-wages.
What else can they do that pays them $7 million per year??
Nothing.

You're right!, thanks Ex-President Obama for leaving office so economic growth could finally break out of the mediocrity it's been stuck in for the bulk of this recovery phase of the business cycle.

The economy under Barry was in the toilet. and UE was through the roof.

You must have forgotten all those unemployment extentions thousands were granted. And all those food stamps people were using.

You really are a moron.

[Erinwltr]

Was anybody even going to go? How many disgusting human beings are on the Eagles? Not enough to satisfy the dotard’s ego. Oh well.

I think it was 9 players that were going to show up.

 

[my2¢]

It made complete sense to cancel this event. The Eagles were planning to send less than 10 players to the White House to meet Trump. That's an embarrassment that any president doesn't need to stand for, so-to-speak.

 

[Godboy]

You're losing this battle. Do you not realize that?

Are we? The NFL’s ratings have been going down since long before Kapaernick ever dared tell people that black people’s lives matter. The NFL is on borrowed time unless concussions suddenly stop being bad for people.

Even if what you say is true, what difference does it make? The NFL is cracking down on unpatriotic displays from the players. We win.

How is fighting for the rights of veterans unpatriotic?

It isnt, but we are talking about unpatriotic NFL kneelers right now who are disrespecting our anthem, knowing full and well that it pisses off patriotic Americans. They trolled the wrong people, and now they are paying the price for it.
