That makes perfect sense … not.

Whichever team wins the NBA championship, President Donald Trump says he won't be inviting them to the White House.
"I didn't invite LeBron James, and I didn't invite Steph Curry. We're not going to invite either team," Mr. Trump told reporters on Friday.
But Mr. Trump said he'd be happy to host the Washington Capitals, who just won the Stanley Cup for the first time in the club's 44-year history.
He said: "If they want to be here, it's the greatest place on Earth. I'm here. If they don't want to be here, I don't want them."

Why would LeBron be invited under the old rules? His team is gonna lose.
Devante Smith-Pelly is a Canadian. Perhaps PDJT can invite every one else. Smith-Pelly also said that he didn’t know about Trump’s policies, just that he was a racist. LI non V
American infatuation over pro sports has reached near insanity anyway.
After all - it is basically just grown men being paid more money than most Americans can ever dream of just to play a game.
Is it Pelly or Smith that bes Devante’s poppa?
Way to cover those bases...oops wrong sport. Screen the issue. Fixed it.
Wonder how the owners of the Cav’s and Warriors feel about LeBron and Steph speaking for them, team, employees, fans, etc....
:)
But he’s a member of the TEAM and as we were constantly reminded by NFL players, “team unity” was the reason for the mass kneel-ins. Had to support our “TEAM MATES!”
Just goes to show what absolute bullshit is being thrown around over ALL this.
“LI non V”...?
That makes perfect sense … not.
He ought to invite them and them get on record with their response
Have you ever heard a rhetorical question before? Dummy.
Time for him to set a new precedent.
Nothing worse than a bunch of whiners, moaners, groaners, complainers and kneelers.
Nothing like being short, clear and to the point.
More winning! I am not tired of it yet. So, more please.

Like the irrelevant hollywood gasbags, the highly paid numbskulls in sports are learning their pointless protests achieve nothing.
It’s the people’s house. We should vote on whether anyone is invited there. I say keepem the hell out. A review of why flags are flown at half mast needs to be done too.
Love it
lebron already announced neither team would go
I think it was a Bill Withers song.

When you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
Or not: Washington Capitals player plans to skip White House visit if team wins Stanley Cup
Smith-Pelly is Canadian as well as African-American so either one could be his reason for not showing.
