Less than 24 hours after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy into the air in Minneapolis, the total number of Philadelphia Eagles players who said they wont visit the White House if the team is invited for the ceremonial championship visit rose to three.
Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins a prominent voice the past two seasons in NFL player protests of police brutality and social injustice told CNN Monday that he will not attend the White House if President Donald Trump was to extend the invitation.

Howie played Tom Hanks gay lover in the director’s cut of the movie That Thing You Do.
Send out selected invitations....not a blank one to the team.
Im sure President Trump is not losing any sleep whatsoever over a few hostile or bigoted punks who don’t wanna visit the White House
its better (for the president and everyone else) if they stay away
What do they have in common?
I do.
The place will stink less without them there.
You and me both! I’m waiting to see the viewer ship stats though.
I'm going with Glenn Frey. Mostly because he's dead.
Jenkins is a pile of dung. He could have said the same exact words if obama was still president. He’s just an Uncle Tom democrat.
I would be thrilled if there was NO invitation to the White House. Just a congrats tweet and let’s move on. And I say this not because 3 thugs say they won’t go because of President Trump. I think a new precedent should be set.
definitely! it is far better they stay away
Shes always got the ultimate response at her finger tips when the jabs start jabbing.
Glad Im not a daughter or her hubby trying to win an argument!
It’s the new “I’m going to Disney World!”.
Why should ANY of that rabble be allowed to even step foot into the WH. They disrespect our flag, our country and the troops that protect them. I’d rather see them sent one way to visit their relatives in some foreign country, at their own expense of course.
...Do you know how to speak Canadian?...
Eh? What are you talking aboot?
That is if they could even pass a simple background check to even be invited
The ONLY reason that football really took off, is because of the betting; legal and otherwise.
And I didn't single out football; I want ALL of this stupid "oh lets have every winning team for everything, go to the White House", to stop!
Sure there was an invite, FOR A BASEBALL TEAM, back in the late 1860s, but the whole football thing is a johnny-come-lately; ditto basketball.
It really doesn't matter what sex one is; many women claim to LOVE football and know it as well as men.
I LOVE baseball, but I think that it's stupid to have baseball players go to the White House too.
Trump loves to be with "winners", I get that, but in this day and age, enough!
No president invites all of the OSCAR, EMMY, and TONY, nor GRAMMY winners to the White House every year.
American winners of the Pulitzer Prizes?
NOPE!

Yet another example why there’s support to repeal the 19th Amendment.
Excellent
