PHILADELPHIA EAGLES WHITE HOUSE VISIT IS OFF ... Trump Suggests He Pulled the Plug

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."

The players did as they wanted. The President took afront and did as he wanted

The players and the team management are Ameriscum, not fit to visit and be recognized by America

To be sure, as seen a separate post Lurie's dumb commentary didn't help. Of course I suspect many owners are left-leaning, i.e. Kraft's flying of Parkland gun grabbers.

Nor was Trump able to still invite those with strong morals on the team. Indeed the Eagles weren't as bad as other teams last season. Nonetheless, you can't always get what you want.

Football is a GAME...it's not the Salk vaccine nor is it it saving souls. Sure, you get some life lessons and see the feats God's Creation can perform for our enjoyment. However, perspective is needed....the good people working carnivals understand their job...athletes increasingly lose sight of the fact that they are ENTERTAINMENT. This Eagles fan will take Trump making an example of the Eagles plus tax cuts plus CNN ratings disaster plus Gorsuch plus a strong economy plus NK on its heels plus lots of other MAGA - not to mention the avoidance of THIS...

...over bread and circuses any day.

You are most welcome good sir.

And what a class act the Eagles are to use as their "theme song" this uplifting and classy song. So, so Philadelphia. What class. What panache.

"All foreign bitches ménagin', fuckin', suckin' and swallowin' Anything for a dollar, they tell me "Get 'em" I got 'em I did it without a album I did shit with Mariah Lil' nigga, I'm on fire Cause these niggas want me dead and I gotta make it back home
Cause my mama need that bill money, my son need some milk These niggas tryna take my life, they fuck around, get killed
You fuck around, you fuck around, you fuck around, get smoked
Cause these Philly niggas I brought with me don't fuck around, no joke, no

All I know is murder, when it come to me I got young niggas that's rollin', I got niggas throwin' B's I done did the DOA's, I done did the KOD's'm like, "Real nigga, what up? Real nigga, what up?" If you ain't about that murder game then pussy nigga, shut up! If you diss me in your raps, I'll get yo' pussy-ass stuck up When you touchdown in my hood; no, that tour life ain't good

Hold up! Broke nigga turned rich, love the game like Mitch And if I leave, you think them pretty hoes gon' still suck my dick? It was somethin' about that Rollie when it first touched my wrist Had me feelin' like that dope boy when he first touched that brick

LOL. and you want to lecture me about class and intellectualism? The Eagles are at this point the trashiest team in the NFL, and as such are WONDERFUL representatives of how the league could best be described as the National Felons League. I've always found their "fans" among the nastiest and classless fans in the league. Even Jets fans and Raider have more class.

It is very interesting how ESPN and the forces behind it believe they can use their platform to seduce Trump supporters into acting against their own interests.

Sportsball is dying a slow, agonizing death, because leftists kill everything they touch.

[EEGator]

I’m not on the Eagles, and I’m not Meek Mill.

You seem incapable of understanding what my point was.
Our interaction on this is over.

The NFL really screwed up here. They should have insisted that the players attend, proposing to send such a small delegation really makes the league look partisan and hostile to those who they disagree with politically.

[airborne]

The NFL can NOT Co troll these privileged prima donas.

Wait until the first game of next season when Philthydelphia is scheduled to celebrate their win in game 1 of the 2018-2019 season.

How many will stay in the locker? How many will come out and then kneel or raise a fist?

Goodell has lost control of his masters’ workers.

Fake News says no one
