When Filet-O-Fish aficionado Donald Trump invited the Clemson Tigers to enjoy the White House’s first Presidential Value Meal, most of Clemson’s national championship football team members jumped at the opportunity to meet the original cheeseburger-swallowing clown. But The Root has learned that Clemson’s black players, some specifically citing racism and their disdain for Trump’s divisive politics, passed on the opportunity to hang out with the real-life Mayor McCheese.
The Root spoke with three black Clemson players who each separately confirmed that many players, both black and white, had no interest in making the trip. All three acknowledged that Donald Trump was the reason they chose not to attend. Even more telling, most of Clemson’s white players were in attendance while nearly three-fourths of the school’s black football players took a hard pass on the chance to eat cold fries with the president of people who eat salads from McDonald’s.
“It wasn’t like we had a team meeting or anything,” said one of Clemson’s offensive stars who spoke with The Root on the condition of anonymity. “Players were talking amongst each other but everybody was like: ‘I’m not going to that.’”
Another defensive standout noted that coaches didn’t pressure players to accompany the team to Washington, D.C., but said that almost every black player he knew didn’t want to take the trip. However, he noted that he knew that some players only attended because they worried that refusing to attend the traditional White House visit might affect their scholarships or playing time.
“Not saying anything against the players who went,” the junior explained, “but if you look at who went—freshman and people fighting for playing time—you’ll see what I’m talking about.”

The media has ... for over 2 years... fed the gullible ignorants out there... a made up version of the President they hate. Treasonous acts...against the country and dividing the nation.. they have lost credibility forever.
Forget it, Jack. I don’t think the poster reads any of the comments to his articles. It puzzles me why some people with no blogs act like blog pimps, anyway. Guess I’ll wait for Humblegunner’s book. LOL
If they refuse to claim the White House as their own, it is their loss.
Twenty years from now all they will remember is a lost opportunity.
Every one of these ingrates were awarded a free ride. You don’t get into college with an IQ of 80.
They are racists.
Bigots.

Not really. Regular folks manipulated by professional gaslighting.
Maybe President Trump should order more burgers(?)
Taters full of class.
I guess they are following the lead of their NFL mentors to now destroy collegiate football.
Make note to self...hire nobody from Clemson of a particular persuasion.
During my years in health care I encountered many,many people with serious psychiatric disorders.One example: a man who claimed that a radio receiver implanted in his brain was receiving transmissions from a transmitter implanted in his...well,"bottom".
As a result of these experiences Trump Derangement Syndrome amuses me...but doesn't disgust me.
The entire tribe couldn't name one specific 'divisive policy' if their lives depended on it.
IOW, it didn't happen that way.
Unfortunately, these Clemson players were never taught decorum or manners. They also were never taught to be gracious. They took as their role models some of the most racist, lying, race baiters ever to tread the earth. And, they have the apparent IQ of common farm animals.
Trump has done NOTHING even remotely racist. As a matter of fact, he has enabled millions of blacks to get jobs and get off welfare. But these quadrupeds find it easier to believe the hype they've been continuously fed by serpents like Sharpton, Farrakhan, et al---lowlifes who have made a fine living off stirring the pot of none-too-bright followers.
So let them congratulate themselves--"I done showed HIM!"--on missing out on a unique opportunity to meet and eat with the President of the United States, who only wanted to honor them. They don't deserve it. Just as well they skipped the visit; who needs to put up with a bunch of idiots like these? Trump has enough idiots to deal with these days.
Blacks overall, are extremely racist.
Go Auburn.. Go LSU!!!
Screw these ingrates.
