Trump disinvites Eagles from White House, plans 'different type of ceremony' for fans

By Brett Samuels  - 06/04/18 07:09 PM EDT

President Trump on Monday abruptly announced that Super Bowl champions the Philadelphia Eagles would not visit the White House on Tuesday, citing the team's participation in national anthem protests.

"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 military and the people of our country," Trump said in a statement.

"The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better," he added.

“Another fact I want to throw out there: Many of us have no interest in supporting President Trump," Lurie said during an October meeting with owners, players and league executives, according to The New York Times.


Well, that's too bad.  Between their shared exceptionally bad hair and foreign mail order brides, Lurie and Trump should get along famously.

   It's obvious President Trump is still pissed off about losing that USFL court case.

Word in Philly is that not enough players were going to attend so Trump cancelled.  The President does like him some big crowds.

Nevermind the fact none of the Eagles took a knee last year.

It wasn't about last year.

It was about the fact dozens of players were going to use the event as another form of protest.

Now....nobody gives a shit who wasn't going.

Few people really care about this type of event, in the first place.  Sports teams visiting the White House, under any administration, is slightly more interesting than the annual Thanksgiving turkey pardons.

It's a privilege not a right for these overpaid jocks to have their photo op with the President and visit the White House.

Somehow these teams/athletes have gotten that fact twisted.

Except FOX News tried to milk it in the other direction and got egg on their face. Quite a nutritious breakfast.

“During our report about President Trump canceling the Philadelphia Eagles’ trip to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl win, we showed unrelated footage of players kneeling in prayer,” said Christopher Wallace, Executive Producer of Fox News @ Night with Shannon Bream in a statement. “To clarify, no members of the team knelt in protest during the national anthem throughout regular or post-season last year. We apologize for the error.”

Kinda funny that the Democrat Philly Mayor criticized Trump for canceling the visit but not the players for refusing to go.
