Exclusive: Clemson’s Black Players Refused to Accept Donald Trump’s Invitation to the McCookout
The Root ^ | 29th January 2019 | Michael Harriot

Posted on 01/29/2019 6:16:10 PM PST by Ennis85

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.”

I would like just one of them to explain what Trump has done that is racist or what policies of his are racist. Just one.

They can’t. Like the flat earfers and the “ Apollo 11 was Fake” morons, Mika Brezhnevskinski or some other bleeding out her eyes leftist woman said it so it’s true.

The alums need to stand against this idiocy. Follow these athletes home and see what is behind the door. The problem is they too will begat more of the same given the indoctrination they have come to know and believe. So sad. America is becoming a laughing stock of the world. Such foolishness in the face of real problems and tragedies.

Fake news.

As I recall 70+ attended of a 90+ total roster. The ones not attending were majority those already left school to pursue NFL dreams.

I still have yet to see any signs of racism from DJT. Particularly toward black people. Anybody ask any of these idiots for examples?

#2. Some of them will end up working at McDonald’s rather then being served them at the White House.

I guess all those BA and BS degrees were given to Phi Beta Kappa students on the team.

If this report is true, it is racism in person......just like throwing gasoline on the fire. Guess we shouldn’t be surprised.
