Trump was right to disinvite the ungrateful unpatriotic Philadelphia Eagles

What this country needs are role models. The professional athletes used to understand what an honor it is to be in such a privileged position in life. They have somehow convinced themselves that they are entitled to bite the hand that feeds them. They are not. Bravo for Trump teaching them a lesson. If they keep this up, the XFL will replace the NFL or some other league that seizes the patriotic limelight away from them. NASCAR gets it. Baseball gets it. The NBA not so much.

Secretly BHO is standing in applause for the GEOTUS.

Trump did it to provide cover for that embarrassment of a press conference held by Sanders.

The NFL babies cannot win this one, it’s just a huge black eye every time.

Poor me I’m black and oppressed because I get millions to play ball.....VS. I died fighting for my country for 30k a year

The NFL and its players have become an embarrassment. The inmates are RUNNING the asylum.

Stfu. Quit looking to entertainers as role models. How about be a damn parent and be your own kid's role model? Quit trying to pass on The responsibility of teaching your seed how to be an adult. The XFL doesn't even have teams yet. Imo they have zero chance to unseat the NFL just like Trump tried with the usfl. You don't like it don't watch. It's that simple. NASCAR and baseball are both declining in tv views and fans. The NBA is gaining even more fans. You shouldn't make threads

And you typed your post because you do not have a normal functioning brain so therefore you’re a stupid bastard and do not know any better.

Do you really enjoy being made a fool of?

Even worse than the woe is me black players who are making millions are the virtue signalling white players who think anyone gives a shite what they think.

The repetition of anecdotes doesn’t an argument make. Your diatribe lacks data to back it up, as does your big mouth.

Was a thought out strategic move by Trump. He checkmated them. While the Eagles were at the White House CNN, MSNBC, etc... would have focused on those that weren't there. Those that decided to protest Trump. Those that hint of racism behind Trumps criticism of the players.

Trump simply denied the players that weren't coming a platform to make a statement. He denied the MSM an opportunity to focus on the players that chose not to come. This was a brilliant move on many levels.

Black athletes need a spanking .... badly

Is their fighting back against authority the result of fatherless homes? I say yes

Democrat mentality created all this

Trump disinvites Eagles from White House - while millions of Americans hurt. Puerto Rico suffers. Allies fret. The planet warms. He uses our National Anthem to sow disunity in what's supposed to be the UNITED States of America. I think history will mark it as akin to McCarthyism.

I don't fault Trump for his move. Football is a team sport, both on and off the field when you are in a position of representing your team. If the "team" can all show up to a Super Bowl game and represent that team then they sure as hell should be able to show up as a team at the WH and receive accolades as a team. Leave your damn politics at home while representing your football team, not your political team.
