Ridiculous that it's become a partisan issue.

First time I can remember this happening was Tim Thomas when Obama was in office. I’m sure it’s happened before that, but this began before Trump....despite your hopes.

Trump didn't do anything directly to start this. Players decided to not go at first and the media blew it up.

I agree. Don't know why Trump turned it into one.
Then they got praised by the media and set the precedent for other teams to use declining White House invites as their way of protesting
