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.

This whole stupid thing about inviting winning sports teams to the White House should end and end right now!
= = = = = = = = = = =
IMNSHO, the President who stops inviting these ingrates, and also stops insisting (at the publics behest) on going to disaster areas where security etal just interferes with the people who are trying to clean up the mess, also he who instigates ‘pardoning’ the Thanksgiving Turkey, will go down as the GREATEST PRESIDENT ever.
If you want to do something ‘positive’, start prosecuting those that are circumventing our law and being given a ‘pass’ because they are ‘public figures’.
I hope President Trump doesn’t soil the White House with the presence of these anti-American ingrate losers and their LIB loser owner.
Nah- tweet that the Eagles can choose to come be recognized as national champs or individuals can give up their place at the reception to a wounded warrior
Either way the WH recognizes champs
Just a reminder the NFL is still rife with unpatriotic asshats.
Figures with Torrey Smith. He came over from the 49ers, who started this flag-hating, anthem kneeling shitstorm.
Watch President Trump outsmart them. Invite them to talk about the issue over dinner with their spouses and children. Have stats ready to show the truth. He’ll make sure he tapes everything.
I wasn’t aware they were invited.

Oh THAT would be AMAZING!
Simple solution, don’t invite the team. When they piss and moan tell them about the three who think they are “special”.
So, a fellow football player gets killed and these 3 stogies are siding with the illegal.
Don’t know about Howie’s politics but his son is your classic snowflake. He’s on a guilt trip that he’s not black and does everthing in his power to get them to like him, all the way to being plastered in ghetto tattoos, because we know how hard he had it growing up the son of a multi-millionaire father.
yes, i’d much rather DJT get down to business draining the swamp
instead of throwing parties or entertaining ball players
Ditto.
I'm sick of our now many tiered "justice" system and want the really BIG FISH, no matter which political party/who they are, to get treated as though they were just another "JOHN or JANE DOE"!
OK, that’s two of us, beergarden
Thank You DoughtyOne.
You got it, nopardons!
Great idea, Ronnie raygun
Are they listed here? Most players are.
I would not want any criminals at the White House.

These people get paid a king's ransom to do a job. The team, no matter which sport it may be, who wins the trophy/BIG win at the end, should see THAT as the prize! There is absolutely NO good reason to then "reward" them with a visit to the White House, which many, if not most, couldn't care less about anyway. WHAT'S THE POINT...JUST WHAT HAVE THEY REALLY DONE TO BETTER THIS NATION AND/OR HER POPULACE?
