on the Eagles took a knee.
Can someone tell me what this is?
Saw it on Twitter.
As a die hard Eagles fan, I am done with the NFL, Eagles and football!! Man oh man am I completely fed up with this political, one sided BS!!
I believe there are only three eagles left, since Glen died.
Lets see how the preseason game attendance goes.
That's the problem in a nutshell.
On team time, the team should do the team thing.
If the team decides to kneel and/or not go to the WH, let them suffer the consequences (hopefully going out of biz).
On team time, like during the Anthem, they need to follow the dictates of their contract - which should be standing up with respect facing the flag.
And here we were lead to believe it was only one.
Make it official. No more professional sports teams visit the White House. Pop the bubble of the cult of professional sports.
25 years ago when sports weren’t political and could unite the country, it made sense. Not now. It simply supports stupid players and crony-capitalist owners and its not up to the President to try and judge who the good ones are, and who the agitators are.
When Obama was President they would all show up with their Knee Pads ,LOL
Pathetic. The NFL has been wholly lost to SJW agenda. I was done with this league when Kap knuck started it and didn’t watch last year. I feel clean.
We have an “anonymous” survey at my work. No one fills it out honestly out of concern of retribution. I guarantee more than 2 wanted to go. Between being ostracized and douche bag Lurie I bet the same thing occurred here.
That said, my lifetime ban continues.
NFL = Not For Long
There was a Reddit thread days ago that was pulled recently that got a lot of hits. I saw it. The reason why Trump pulled the plug because there were a couple of aholes on that team who were going to pull a stupid stunt. Apparently, there were a number who was told of the plan and got word to their connections in the WH. The Reddit user was supposedly working in the Eagles office.
If they don’t want the country to be divided they should have attended as a team. Bunch of spoiled liberal babies are they afraid the president would disagree with them? Screw them and Joe Lockhart at the NFL who releases anti Trump statements as the DNC operative he is.
But none of them minds visiting Bill Clinton - A Rapist!
Only leftists act this nutty though. Plenty of conservative athletes went to the White House despite it being defiled by Barack Obama.
Here’s apparently what went down:

The Players union president and other players on the Eagles threatened people not to show up.
Otherwise, no one goes into the US President’s presence, no matter who the President is and no matter who the invited “guests” are!
Imagine the work and cost in putting this together and now we’re supposed to be OK with that, no matter who the petulant multi-millionaires are!
I’m definitely NOT OK with that huge waste of my tax dollars, no would I ever be.
Not now, not ever.
Did the white players stay away as they didn’t want retaliation from the overwhelming amount of black players on the team?
Only two? - I don’t believe it - Coach Peterson said yesterday he was looking forward to the trip, and I’d bet money both Foles and Wentz at least were set to go - eighty people were supposedly cleared to attend over the weekend - that’s sure a lot of sudden mind-changing that needs some big ‘splainin’......
