Donald Trump wants Tom Brady, Big Ben and Dana White to speak at GOP Convention

Donald J. Trump has some ideas for how to jazz up the Republican National Convention, and he previewed one at a rally here on Friday evening: a “winner’s evening” of sports celebrities and champions addressing the convention rather than politicians.
“We’re going to do it a little different, if it’s O.K.,” he told the crowd. “I’m thinking about getting some of the great sports people who like me a lot.”
After regaling the crowd with the long story of how he successfully courted the endorsement of Bobby Knight, the former Indiana University basketball coach, Mr. Trump rattled off a list of other names of sports figures who he said have supported him. According to the candidate, he also has the support of the star quarterbacks Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger; Brian France, the chief executive of Nascar; and Dana White, the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship.
“Dana White, you know Dana White?” Mr. Trump asked the crowd. “U.F.C. Guy’s a champion. These are champions.”
He said he wanted to have them all address the convention, to be held next month in Cleveland, as examples of “winners,” rather than “these people, these politicians who are going to get up and speak and speak and speak.”

Ben Roethlisberger would be a disaster.

I think they enjoy their endorsement deals too much to speak at a GOP convention that nominates Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if Brady even says he's not voting for Trump.

When I think of what I want in my next president, a little cheater, a little rapey, and slimy as frick is exactly what comes to mind.

Trump is specifically seeking people that are synonomous with cheating (Brady), rape (Ben), and violence (White)?
This is only further proof that he's sabotaging the GOP candidacy to ensure Hillary's victory. It's getting more obvious by the day.
ETA: I see that I'm not alone on this....should've read the responses.

Not that I disagree but most politicians have done things much worse than what those guys have

None of them gave opinion?

Seriously?

Brady hasn't endorsed Trump so yeah he hasnt given an opinion.
If he did, I'd be irritated because I hate when sports people start talking a out politics.

Why does it bother you? They're allowed to voice there political opinions just like you and I are. Just because they play sports doesn't mean they have to keep all non sports opinions to themselves

one is known to a great many as a cheater, one is clearly a coke head and an major a-hole who screws over his fighters, and the other is more than a likely a rapist who got away with it.
and Trump wants them to speak?
