Three Eagles Say They Won’t Visit White House if Invited
The Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | February 5, 2018 | JuliaKate Culpepper

Posted on 02/05/2018 1:47:01 PM PST by Cecily

Less than 24 hours after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy into the air in Minneapolis, the total number of Philadelphia Eagles players who said they won’t visit the White House if the team is invited for the ceremonial championship visit rose to three.

Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins— a prominent voice the past two seasons in NFL player protests of police brutality and social injustice— told CNN Monday that he will not attend the White House if President Donald Trump was to extend the invitation.

>>Waah waaah waahhh! Boo hoo hoo! I’m not talking to HIM! Waah waaaaah!<<

Is that chick in some movie drama or is she “grieving” because the Slut from the Ozarks had her ass handed to her?

Okay, guys. Better that you don’t show up; you’re really not all that.

There’s more than 2 of us. Lots of threads about Freepers doing something else. Thank God I have a hot and rightwing GF who just went out to dinner with me at the beach last night. The restaurant we went in, the crowd had the “what game?” look.

>>This whole stupid thing about inviting winning sports teams to the White House should end and end right now!<<

I would counsel the President to invite no individual or organization to the White House that has in any way criticized him or his agenda. Why offer such an opportunity for the enemy to further their own agenda?

Why invite any of them? The taxpayers don’t need the cost and the government needs to work on much more important matters.

somebody should mail the death notice of the Indianapolis linebacker killed by an illegal alien drunk driver yesterday. ... of course Trump’s wall and immigration process might have helped a BLACK man from dying...but hey, he’s a liberal and facts don’t matter.

I predict Long & Smith will not be Eagles by training camp. I think they squeezed the last good bit of football out of Long. And Smith’s position (speed receiver) needs an upgrade.

I’d love to see the President giving a conditional invite.

What I wish Trump would say:

“There is a tradition of the winning super bowl team receiving the honor of a visit to the White House and an official Oval Office congratulation from the POTUS. I would love to be part of this honor and to represent the American People. As long as the winning NFL team, the Philadelphia Eagles, also considers this invitation an honor to their hard work and successful season on the part of the American People, who are represented by their President, I herewith extend the invitation to come to the White House for some celebration and congratulations.”

No, I understand it all VERY well!

OTOH...you just keep on proving that you are a misogynistic little git, who doesn't understand much of anything at all.

If 3 ‘Eagles’ don’t show up which one will be there?

Have they heard from ‘Chicago’ yet?

They just “can’t have no idea how little I care.” as Monte Walsh said.

I don’t care a tiny bit about football players, or the games they play on and off the field.

I don’t care a tiny bit if someone is offended by President Trump being in the White House- in fact I helped put him there so he would offend people that need offending.

No I'm not and yes, I know what that words means and NO, I didn't look it up.

Yeah, yeah and just look at what you wrote to me; you nasty, sniveling, little guttersnipe.

Far more than 2...we cleaned up our yard, and enjoyed doing it. I don’t know a single person that watched the Super Bowl, but I got rid of all the liberals in my life.

My oldest daughter always has a Super Bowl Party, and they did have a party yesterday- had all the food but went horseback riding and did not watch the game.
