Entire Eagles Team May Boycott White House Visit
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 8, 2018 | John S. Roberts

Posted on 02/08/2018 7:40:27 AM PST by mairdie

New York Daily News has the scoop:

“No, I’m not going to the White House,” Chris Long said. “Are you kidding me?”

Malcolm Jenkins, Torrey Smith, and two-time boycotters LeGarrette Blount and Long, who sat out last year’s visit as members of the the Patriots, have all come out in the last 24 hours and said they will not attend the annual visit winning teams make to Washington. […]

Rumors are circulating on social media that the Eagles are planning to boycott as a team. The Eagles, who arrived back in Philadelphia Monday afternoon, did not immediately respond to a request confirming those rumors.

“...Maybe the tradition of teams and athletes visiting the White House should end....”

BINGO!! They are no longer suitable role models for America’s youth and because of that, they no longer should be eligible for such a high & distinguished honor.
If it weren’t for the ball, most of em would be in prison orange picking up trash on the side of the road.

Good! The idea that government has to put its seal of approval and give its blessing to everything is creepy, dangerous and blasphemous. If you win a championship, you do not need a trip to Washington to be validated.

If Trump hasn’t sent out an official invitation, then don’t

I disagree. He should invite them, then make sure that the pictures of who does show up end up as GOP campaign literature. Let the rest of the public who thinks the NFL is some demi-god see what a bunch of anti-American, overpaid, selfish children are "winners".

Total BS. An example of a far-left newspaper trying to promote a controversy.

The internet rumors are just a little more valid than a “Q” post.

IF...this is true, Trump should beat them to the punch and say no NFL (or NBA team) team will be invited to the WH as long as he is POTUS.

Make the WH a NO THUG ZONE

I would invite and publish the names of those who don’t show.

I am still in disbelief that Trump had a super bowl party.

Screw ‘em. Trump should not invite any sports team, especially NFL.

He should not invite the NFL players and instead invite all those that provided security and medical services.

The would make the NFL an arm of the establishment. Right now the MSM, FBI, IRS, CIA, and Justice Department appear to be other arms of the establishment.

I can’t do much about the others, but I can continue my boycott of the NFL.

Another social/civil society event that has been marred by leftist politics - like the Academy Awards, the NFL, your local school board meeting, the annual press club dinner

Trump should simply cancel the whole thing. No more invites to the NFL.
