Philadelphias mayor called President Trump a fragile egomaniac, and accused him of not being a true patriot. Mayor Jim Kenney released the following statement in response to Trumps decision:
The Eagles call the birthplace of our democracy home, so its no surprise that this team embodies everything that makes our country and our city great. Their athletic accomplishments on the field led to an historic victory this year. Fans all across the country rallied behind them because we like to root for the underdog and we feel joy when we see the underdogs finally win. Im equally proud of the Eagles activism off the field. These are players who stand up for the causes they believe in and who contribute in meaningful ways to their community. They represent the diversity of our nationa nation in which we are free to express our opinions.
Disinviting them from the White House only proves that our President is not a true patriot, but a fragile egomaniac obsessed with crowd size and afraid of the embarrassment of throwing a party to which no one wants to attend.
City Hall is always open for a celebration.
While some have pointed out that no Eagles players actually knelt for the anthem this year, that fact obscures larger issues. According to NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo, the Eagles were going to send a contingent of less than ten players to the White House:

Trillion dollar little school brats with the entitlement of the wages off our backs.
School is over fellas.
“Trump needs to have a special visit set up for the 10 players”
And their families.
People who don’t respect the national anthem, don’t have any business in the WH
In fact, I don’t think those kinds of people would even WANT to be there.
It’s just the Liberals projecting their OWN abject confusion and illogical mindset on the President.. again!
Mayor Jim Kenney is a Democrat.
I personally am proud that I hate the evil Democrats.
Democrats have the right to remain silent.
Should they decide to give up that right they have the right to suffer.
What should they do?
Kenney...FU and the NFL too.
One of my favorite authors is W.E.B. Griffin. One of his series concerns the Philadelphia police department and his protagonist Matthew Payne.
The Badge Of Honor series was an advertisement for the greatness of the city of Philadelphia. The most recent that I read was a complete reversal of viewpoint. I was so glad to see him coming around to portraying the truth, the change that has taken place
More leftist projection.
I bet there’s at least one disappointed Eagles player who had plans to take a knee in the White House.
This will not endure him to African Americans!!!
Heres hoping that DJT breaks the grip of Sportsball on adult, white American males.
***********
Pro sports lulled Americans into complacency even before they turned political.
“Well screw him too then.”
...and the eagle he flew in on
I think its time we stop sending pro teams to the white house. Its become political. And for many of the players, its not special. These are all millionaires. If they want to go to the white house they can figure out a way to get there. But having a quarter of the team boycott every year proofs, its just not special to many of them.
The Philadelphia Eagles will soon find out that the overwhelming number of all Americans are not with them. The Mayor of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Eagles football team have disgraced themselves...forever. They are right now roundly hated and have harmed our country, their city, our military folks, the American flag, the national anthem, insulted our fairly elected POTUS and showed the entire country the living human scum and vermin they really are...those ungrateful fools and idiots.
They are “Traitor” Obamabots...shucks what else would you expect from the low life, dregs of decent society!!! They are at home with Barack Hussein Obama, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Bob Casey, etc., America Haters...all of them!!!
The team made the decision, Trump (in actuality) gave them an out. The mayor, who has absolutely no skin in the game ought to publicly keep his pie-hole shut and talk with the owners.
I would invite them and family for a non political private event .
“This will not endure him to African Americans!!!”
Decent African-Americans will have no problem with it. No more than us “British-Americans”. If football is more important to them than patriotism, then screw ‘em.
Only 8 or 9 players were going to attend. Trump was right to cancel the event. It is an honor to go to the WH regardless of who is President. The Eagles shot themselves in the claw.
‘Whats more pathetic than a 40 something White Male spending $80 for a jersey with some 22 y/o POS Black Males last name on it.’
good point...
‘Meanwhile, hes not paying attention to his wife or children, pathetic..’
I hardly think watching a football game on a Sunday afternoon constitutes familial abandonment...
