PHILADELPHIA EAGLES WHITE HOUSE VISIT IS OFF ... Trump Suggests He Pulled the Plug
TMZ ^ | Jun 4, 2018 | staff

Posted on 06/04/2018 4:17:55 PM PDT by Eddie01

Donald Trump has announced the plans for the Philadelphia Eagles to visit the White House to celebrate the Super Bowl victory is officially OFF ... and POTUS is making it seem like it was his decision.

Instead, Trump says he will still have the United States Marine Band and the United Army Chorus playing the national anthem at 1600 Pennsylvania ... while he stands proudly and watches.

The team was scheduled to visit on Tuesday ... without several key members from the team who opted out as a way to protest Trump's stance on the national anthem.

But Trump says the "smaller delegation" of players who accepted the invite are no longer coming because "the fans deserve better."

"The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow."

"They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our country."

"The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fan planning to attend the event deserve better."

"These fans are still invited to the White House to be part of a different type of ceremony-one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem."

"I will be there at 3:00 p.m. with the United States Marine Band and the United Army Chorus to celebrate America."

In that case in my view Chris Long and his old man isn’t worth a bucket of warm spit.

No problem, Bama will visit again next year and show everyone how it should be done (again).

And have Steve Kerr and Stef Curry announced yet that they won’t visit this year if they win the NBA title again. They like to turn down invitations not yet extended.

Frankly I’m surprised that Chris Long wasn’t among the players cut or traded to clear cap space.

I’m sure the Jaguars, Bucs, and Dolphins are full of wonderful patriotic Black Americans that never kneeled...

You know as an SEC LSU fan, i’m not inclined to like Ala-dam-bama, but i must admit, your experience was mine too.

I’ve been pummeled in the past years to respect their team on the field, and the graciousness and appropriateness of their visit to PDJT/White House has sold me on the values of Coach Saban. He is a CLASS ACT.

wish he was still at LSU.......

These a-hole Eagles including the a-hole owner need to just skip all of the American theatrics at every game then: no color guard, military flyovers, no flags, no anthem, no phony "salute the Vets" BS, nothing American. F-these POS. I am so disappointed because I know a good portion of the Eagles are not like this.

I hated everything with Obama and his ilk with the leftist scum f-ing up our country. Not once did I ever not stand for my country.

Football is entertainment. It is getting less entertaining.

They’re the only team that won the SB and decided to be asshats, so F them.

In your discussions, ask your liberal friends if they can name three athletes who have kneeled that have also done regular community-based work. Any 3 who have spent some of their millions helping to fix these perceived problems.

I know I can't think of three.

I just read the statement, and it appears that military heroes will be recognized.
