Shannon Sharpe: The Patriots should choose to skip White House visit as a team
Fox Sports ^ | 2/8/17 | Nick Schwartz

Posted on 02/08/2017 3:13:22 PM PST by smartyaz

Shannon Sharpe: Not go. As a group. At the end of the day, you make the best decision, but I’m just saying, for us, the message that we are going to send that we are united, we are a team, we won this together. We’ve lost and cried and shed sweat and blood together. If we go - if part of us goes, and the other part stays - that says ‘divided.’ And so I would recommend that we do not go, that we do not attend.

Because we’re standing up against misogyny, we’re standing up against racism, xenophobia, that’s what we’re standing [up against]. It’s not about him. It’s about the other people that’s not Shannon Sharpe. That’s not Devin McCourty, that doesn’t have a voice."

When was the last time the White House invited an engineering team after they pulled off an incredible project for their company?

Clock-med from Arlington, Texas got invited to Obama's White House for pulling of the incredible engineering feet of taking the screws off of a Radio Shack clock and stuffing it into a small metal box.
Does that count?

I’ve seen Shannon around town a lot. He’s always at the Whole Foods on Paces Ferry Road in Atlanta. I used to see him at the gym too.

This is really disappointing to read. In person he’s a really nice fellow to talk with. I’m disgusted by just read.

I think I might give him the finger the next time I see him.

I might have had 15 or 20 conversations with him at the gym. The building I worked in was across the street from Whole Foods and I go there for the cheap pizza and he was usually there at lunchtime.

What a bummer.

...

Why don’t you stand up against the corrupt media that is doing all this lying and name calling?

Kraft should pay for them to fly to either DC or Chappaqua.

Ask him why he dislikes Trump. Probability of a coherent answer = 0%

I know we’re not supposed to swear on this site but read between the lines ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff#^k these idiots. When you go out on the field or the diamond or the ice or the court do you only play when people you like and agree with are in the stands plunking down thousands of dollars for season tickets or hundreds of dollars for some seat in the nosebleed section so you can go home in your Tesla or Bentley or Rolls to your manse in the burbs and live a life that’s very Charmed? Or do you play for whoever is in the building whether you share the same views or not??? It’s the latter.

Just the same as when you go to the White House...not everybody in government is somebody that you necessarily agree with I would think but you go because it’s a tradition and it’s your seat of leadership in this country and if you can’t be man or woman enough to suck it up and go as a team then you maybe need to think about playing tennis...an individual Sport.

A lowly, negative-driven player doesn't get to decide for the rest of the team.

So how about the real team goes to the WH and you sit your cowardly ass out like a bump on a log and expose yourself as the self-centered loser you are.

I wonder if she has to shop around to find those extra sour grapes. I’m assuming Shannon is a girl.

Because we’re standing up against misogyny

If they had stood up against Bill Clinton, who actually DID abuse women, they might have some credibility.
