Entire Eagles Team May Boycott White House Visit
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 8, 2018 | John S. Roberts

Posted on 02/08/2018 7:40:27 AM PST by mairdie

New York Daily News has the scoop:

“No, I’m not going to the White House,” Chris Long said. “Are you kidding me?”

Malcolm Jenkins, Torrey Smith, and two-time boycotters LeGarrette Blount and Long, who sat out last year’s visit as members of the the Patriots, have all come out in the last 24 hours and said they will not attend the annual visit winning teams make to Washington. […]

Rumors are circulating on social media that the Eagles are planning to boycott as a team. The Eagles, who arrived back in Philadelphia Monday afternoon, did not immediately respond to a request confirming those rumors.

RSVPing before you’ve been invited is never good form. Don’t these fellows know anything about etiquette?

There’s some really great ideas being developed here of an alternative reception to honor the winning by honoring veterans who participated. I would think it would be pretty straightforward to develop a reception plan that would pull in the veterans who participated and the military that carried the flag; the veterans in PA and the wounded warriors in the VA hospitals around DC. Give talks on sportsmanship and courage and fighting through difficulties to succeed. Give out a couple of military medals. Praise the ORIGINAL warriors, not the sport imitations. And not even invite the football team.

STFD, STFU

Paid...barrels of cash...to play a game you love. Unless you have a great story or ethics worth emulating, not interested in the drivel coming from yer’ pie hole.

.02, YMMV

Maybe lots of us will boycott the NFL for the rest of our lives.

If the entire team boycotts the visit the MSM will go nuts reporting it. Rather than a slap in President Trump’s face, which they are all rooting for, this will do more damage to the already damaged NFL which is turning into a national disgrace. Who-ray!!

FIRST——You have to have an INVITATION....

The White House isn’t like a ghetto-—where you can do as you please.

Good. Then our government employees don’t have to stop what they’re doing to cater to a bunch of over paid kneelers.

I rooted for the Eagles as the underdog - plus I like what I've heard about Foles - both Foles and the head coach gave glory to God and their Savior Jesus Christ after the game.

I'm guessing they will not go as a team to try to keep internal friction - sucks to be them and pass on this opportunity.

Don’t invite them at all. Problem solved. It’s retarded to have any sports team wasting our time and money with this crap.
I love sports, but sports is sports.
