Donald Trump has announced the plans for the Philadelphia Eagles to visit the White House to celebrate the Super Bowl victory is officially OFF ... and POTUS is making it seem like it was his decision.
Instead, Trump says he will still have the United States Marine Band and the United Army Chorus playing the national anthem at 1600 Pennsylvania ... while he stands proudly and watches.
The team was scheduled to visit on Tuesday ... without several key members from the team who opted out as a way to protest Trump's stance on the national anthem.
But Trump says the "smaller delegation" of players who accepted the invite are no longer coming because "the fans deserve better."
"The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow."
"They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our country."
"The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fan planning to attend the event deserve better."
"These fans are still invited to the White House to be part of a different type of ceremony-one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem."
"I will be there at 3:00 p.m. with the United States Marine Band and the United Army Chorus to celebrate America."
Ping!
Who wants the White Hoise covered in Eagles stench!
I just took a knee laughing...
“Hopefully it will be a long,long,long,long time before any Eagles need to worry about visiting the White House....”
Ya this is the kind of thing that lingers as a curse.
That and the whole premise of BLM and the player protests are predicated on lies.
If you struggle with a LEO for his gun, you deserve to get your head blown off.
Also, search on The Color of Crime .pdf (amren).
Shocking analysis based of government crime statistics.
That is what needs to be addressed, rampant violent crime in the black community of their own making.
“I will be there at 3:00 p.m. with the United States Marine Band and the United Army Chorus to celebrate America.”
Just when I think I couldn’t possibly love that magnificent b@stard any more that I already do!
*SNIF*
Best. Election. Ever. EVER! MAGA! :)
Mess with the bull, you get the horn. I love this man.
Die, NFL, die.
Football players are rich snobs who get paid MILLIONS of dollars to throw a football around..NO other country in the world pays buffoons 100 mil to throw a ball around..these jerks should be GRATEFUL to live in America..where they can do this as a profession and get paid bucket loads of cash to do so, instead they smear our country and disrespect our flag..F them
I became an Alabama fan when their entire NCAA championship football team came to the White House. They dressed appropriately and treated PDJT with the respect that the office of the presidency deserves.
Asshat nfl kneelers are smart enough to know off field protests generate no enthusiasm.
Expect more on field attention seeking by overpaid buffoons this upcoming season.
Good points.
What is seldom talked about, is that their poster boys, such as Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, did a heck of a lot to bring their demise on themselves.
These players are missing out on a life-time event.
Credit to the Eagles players who were going to come.
Howiew Long’s son is among the most militant of the Eagles. He has taken it as a personal crusade against the President.
How many?
One player was overhead asking: ‘Do dis mean we only get one scoop ah da ice cream?’
Excellent.
Even better!
I LOVE our President!
“Could maybe add a few military heroes to the event, and recognize their achievements.”
Add a couple of retired ball players who played for the Academies.
