Trump won't invite NBA champions to White House
CBS "News" ^ | June 8, 2018

Posted on 06/08/2018 1:47:06 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

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."

Glad to see him stand up to these “oppressed” millionaires.

I would rather see the President invite current military members, veterans, and first responders to celebrate them. They deserve it more than sports stars.

Smith-Pelly is Canadian as well as African-American...

Shouldn't that be African-Canadian?

Pro sports are for leftist enablers. Stick to college sports. Better yet, get some exercise by playing sports,
exercise your minds by reading a good book, or spend time with your families.

"Why would Trump invite them when they already said they would not come?"

That's what makes me crazy.

Some a-hole says:"I won't go to the WH if we win!"

WHY would the POTUS waste a minute of his time on such ingrates, if they already said they won't go?

And WHO does the MSM "blame"?

The POTUS.

NOT the a-holes.

In your own life, imagine someone saying that they wouldn't under any circumstance attend a party at your house.

Would you invite them?

I feel a small bit of sympathy for the Eagles who would have gladly accepted an invitation to the WH.

But the a-holes ruined it for everyone.

Every NBA team must have 70% whites, 3% mooslems, 14% hispanics, 0.7% Native Americans, 4% Chinese, 0.0005% Vietnamese, 32% Slavs, 1.2% Mongels, 2.1% Germans, 7.6% Vikings, 3% Jews, 0.009% Picts, 3% Greeks and at least one B-52 pilot. If not, the NBA team must be disbanded as racist.

“LI non V”.

Low information, non Voter since he said that he didn't know Trump's policies.

So is that why you labelled a man who is neither African nor American an "African-American"? Because Canada is in North American...? Seriously?

My point? Political Correctness is the enemy of exactitude. If you're a serious thinker, you would understand that. And eschew PC.

Two players, the coach, and the mascot wanted to attend. The Eagles played games with the WH asking at first for 80 people and then reducing the numbers over the next two days. Then they asked to reschedule conflicting with the meeting in Singapore. The owner of the Eagles made no secret about his hatred of Trump. I have absolutely no sympathy for the Eagles who tried to embarrass the WH and Trump.

Actually, he's just Canadian. Born in Ontario. Lives in Canada. I doubt he's ever even been to Africa, much less lived there.
