Shannon Sharpe: The Patriots should choose to skip White House visit as a team
Fox Sports ^ | 2/8/17 | Nick Schwartz

Shannon Sharpe: Not go. As a group. At the end of the day, you make the best decision, but I’m just saying, for us, the message that we are going to send that we are united, we are a team, we won this together. We’ve lost and cried and shed sweat and blood together. If we go - if part of us goes, and the other part stays - that says ‘divided.’ And so I would recommend that we do not go, that we do not attend.

Because we’re standing up against misogyny, we’re standing up against racism, xenophobia, that’s what we’re standing [up against]. It’s not about him. It’s about the other people that’s not Shannon Sharpe. That’s not Devin McCourty, that doesn’t have a voice."

So don’t go. Being ignorant isn’t attractive

I don’t follow volleyball. Who is Shannon Sharpe?

Brain damage or just racist? You be the judge.

Brady skipped out on seeing Obama, shouldn’t the rest of the team united with him?

I’m surprised anyone was able to comprehend the noises emanating from his maw.

Shannon Sharpe is a racist, it is as simple as that. The ONLY reason people are against Trump is the color of his skin, who are we trying to fool?

The Patriots don’t go, then they just had their best year.

There will never be another.

This is getting absurd.

And if one Chicago Cub had refused to visit Obama, the rest should not go? Be consistent, Sharpie.

I would end the tradition of inviting sports winners to the White House.

A sports team means shit in the world of real things.

Sorry, jocks, but nothing changed in the world because you won.

And nothing would have changed had you lost.

You are, nothing but entertainment for folks who like to get fat sitting in front of TVs.

“CBS Producers Ask Shannon Sharpe To Use at Least 3 Real Words Per Sentence.”

Completely agree. No need for sports teams to visit the White House.
A video message from the POTUS congratulating the team is more than sufficient.
