Less than 24 hours after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy into the air in Minneapolis, the total number of Philadelphia Eagles players who said they won’t visit the White House if the team is invited for the ceremonial championship visit rose to three.

Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins— a prominent voice the past two seasons in NFL player protests of police brutality and social injustice— told CNN Monday that he will not attend the White House if President Donald Trump was to extend the invitation.

This whole stupid thing about inviting winning sports teams to the White House should end and end right now!

These overpaid babies really do NOT matter at all, in the scheme of things and they haven't really accomplished anything that actually matters at all!

Why would the President want to invite thugs to the White House anyway?

Typical intolerant leftists. I am glad they are not going but if they were really honest they should try and present their ideas to the president in a mature thoughtful way.

I think KelleyAnn stated they would invite veterans for those that don’t show up..

What a perfect idea!

The looey world is jerking them around like a yo-yo. At some point I hope they see how silly it is.

Disappointing if any of the devout Christians also feel this way. I’ve been disappointed with fellow Christians I’ve encountered myself, who lack discernment and cast judgment on Trump by towing the false media distortions of his character and words.

Oh c’mon, football became a second American pastime for a reason. It’s a guy thang and you’re a gal.

If Hillary didn’t want to, that could be understood. But c’mon. Would Donal Trump fail?

This separates the he-men from the it-boys.

IMO POTUS should not invite ANY of them. I don’t think he should tweet about it, but he needs to just stop all this nonsense in it’s tracks. It takes the air of these idiots balloons. And if their team feels punished for one or two of their team’s behavior then let them deal with those players.

I’m tired of these big retards mouthing off about POTUS and not visiting the WH as soon as they win a championship, even before they’re invited.
