The White House said the Eagles switched the numbers to three players, the owner (that despises Trump) and the team mascot.

They also requested the date be moved to next week. When Trump was scheduled to be in Singapore.

Damn, Eagles. Y'all are some cold motherfrickers.

The great uniter Trump is too chickenshit to be seen w/a team that has people who might disagree w/him.

Goodall should have snuffed this quickly, but didn't. He's about bringing in money, nothing more.

I don't even understand the logic of that too. Sanders said fans deserved better than just a handful of Eagles. So the solution is to disinvite everyone and give the fans zero Eagles instead of a handful?






Ikr why would the eagles not allow the players that wanted to go to go

and then trump says one thing and they're all riled up, huh...yeah, i'm sorry you think they're stupid.



Yeah. Emotional appeals are used in politics all the time because they work.

the outrage amongst a big chunk of fans was probably still growing due to being ignored and their concerns dismissed


If so they were mighty quiet about it.

the nfl thought the same thing the previous year, and yet here they were with kneeling players. how long before it was done winding down?


Do you think this is still an issue if Trump didn't interject last year? Because I don't.

one more time...the outrage and frustration existed and was probably growing due to being ignored and dismissed.


You have no evidence to back up your claim that the outrage was growing.

All evidence points to the opposite.

It’s pretty simple, when concerns and frustrations are ignored, they grow in intensity but they find their outlet.


Their concerns were going away though. Players were giving up their protests left and right. The media was giving up on covering it. It was going away.

I think this is really our only disagreement.

At the "Celebration of America" event, Kellyanne Conway tried to take a video of me tweeting while folks were singing God Bless America. I guess she wanted to accuse me of being unpatriotic. But she also stopped singing too... to try to record me. So strange.

But it totally sounds like shite the Trump administration would attempt to do.
