Levin: ‘This was a complete setup’ by Philadelphia Eagles management
Conservative Review, Jun 5, 2018, Phil Shiver

LevinTV host Mark Levin slammed the Philadelphia Eagles Tuesday night on his radio show, calling their handling of the team’s White House visit a “complete setup.”

According to a report from Politico, the White House was informed last week that 81 players were planning to attend the event. But on Monday, the Eagles organization notified the White House that only a handful of players and team representatives would attend.

Levin went on a tirade against the Eagles for attempting to “sabotage” the president.

“You can take your union, your football, and your football field and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine,” Levin blasted.

???

Fell for 'what'?

The team told him a week ago that 49 people would be attending and at the last possible moment said just nine players and team personnel would be coming.

Trump wisely canceled.

Seriously he knows a con when he sees one. Besides, No one makes Donald T Trump Look Like A Possums Pecker.

So you're saying he knew it was a con, but he went for it anyway?   :shrug:

I'm not sure you can say he "went for it."  Going for it would be accepting the half-dozen or so people from the team that were coming and let the media photographers record the snub.  He didn't do that, he canceled it and made a fan event out of it.

He would be smart to cancel all future plans for champion jocks coming to the White House for photo ops.

I agree with that last sentence.  The only people who were harmed in this one was the players who had put themselves out there and agreed to attend.

I think that was one player.  All the rest decided to stick it to Trump out of "Team Solidarity."  But canceling all the future greets for any winning sports teams is the long-term way to go.

Lebron James, acting as official spokesman for both the Cavs and the Warriors, says nobody on either team will go to the White House after the Basketball Finals presently under way.

The other article that up now says it was 10 players.  Which would have seemed like enough.

I love my Eagles,  but turning a traditional honor into a platform to embarrass the President is, well, unsportsmanlike, to say the least. 

I don't blame the President in the slightest for cancelling the event.   And like several others above,  I see no reason to hold these ceremonies for winning sports teams in the future.   Well, maybe for the Washington Capitals.

I've been reading that too, but it was unclear whether they were "Players" or "Team members."  You know how the President is about crowd sizes....

The right camera angle can make a few seem like a lot and vice versa.

I would guess the perception would be controlled by the guys with the cameras.  The ones who have been fair to Trump so far.

They'll probably accuse Ovechkin of putting a secret message from Putin in the Stanley Cup when they meet Trump.

No, quite the opposite.
