ESPN NBA analyst Jalen Rose thinks some professional athletes, especially those in the NBA, who are invited to the White House to be recognized for winning championships will skip the festivities because Donald Trump will be president.

Butthurt:

[refermech]

Good, saves taxpayer money.

[Alberta's Child]

Seems awfully presumptuous to think they’d even get invited, Jalen — doesn’t it?

[Right Brother]

I’m sure Donald is losing sleep over this.

[boycott]

Good because there is work to be done.

[dforest]

Fine, I won’t be watching the NBA, so it really does not matter.

[Navin Johnson]

That’s okay. The NBA sucks anyway, I never tune in anymore.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I guess the NBA is jealous of the NFL’s ratings dive and so they are going to start ramping up the racial division too.

[Mr. K]

That’s OK...
We’ve got important work to do.

The Presidency is not a social event coordinator

[TigerClaws]

Pathetic.

BOYCOTT NFL and NBA. Let these guys get jobs washing dishes and parking cars. Don’t contribute the the thugs that are destroying the culture.

ESPN gives Disney HALF of its revenue.

BOYCOTT.

We the people have the power of the purse. Vote for the culture you want with your wallet.

FR should ban any NFL threads on this site. Why is this website being used to support left wing causes????

[FlingWingFlyer]

That’s good. Those little photo ops are a waste of money anyway. The vast majority of Americans don’t care about this stupidity anyway. Nobody cares about the NBA.

[Gay State Conservative]

Fair enough.That just means that security won't have to watch the silverware as closely.

[RummyChick]

I bet Charles Barkley, Rodham, and Shaq go

[headstamp 2]

The parade of brooding children continues unabated.

[headstamp 2]

I heard Disney’s stock is tanking anyway.

[cherry]

it’ll save on fumigation....

[Gamecock]

Just another reason I don’t watch professional sports.

[noexcuses]

Who says they will be invited?

I don’t think Trump will necessarily stand on ceremony but will make new “traditions”. I would be happy if his inauguration is low key - dump the parade and endless balls. Just roll up his sleeves and get to work!!

[bert]

you don’t visit the White house.....you must be invited.
there will be few if any invitations for racist jocks

[Mr. K]

The protesters think Trump is going to re-institute slavery, degrade women, and kill gays...

You know, like muslims.
