Three Eagles Say They Won’t Visit White House if Invited
The Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | February 5, 2018 | JuliaKate Culpepper

Posted on 02/05/2018 1:47:01 PM PST by Cecily

Less than 24 hours after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy into the air in Minneapolis, the total number of Philadelphia Eagles players who said they won’t 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.

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

Let’s see: Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and who else?

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.

Just gotta LOVE KellyAnne!

She’s always got the ultimate response at her finger tips when the jabs start jabbing.

Glad I’m not a daughter or her hubby trying to win an argument!

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.

That is if they could even pass a simple background check to even be invited

I'm old enough to remember when football of ANY kind, was no big deal and BASEBALL was KING!

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.
