WASHINGTON — Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook has jumped into the controversy surrounding this week’s canceled White House visit by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Cook posted a tweet Tuesday night:

“Nebraska would love to go to the White House! Huskers would be honored and proud to visit our leaders in DC and represent Nebraska and the Natty! #gbr”

The tweet appeared to be deleted Wednesday afternoon.

Cook’s statement quickly drew a wave of responses from others on the social media platform, ranging from attaboys to how-dare-yous.

The LEFT are despicable “human beings”(not really sure).

A visit to the White House is controversial.

He is right. There is no reason in the world that pro teams should be going to the white house. College and other school teams should petition the white house for an invite. And if the President has the time they should go. But pros are pros. Nobody needs to see a bunch of whiny millionaires at the white house.

...causes a stir...

Translation: Liberal media can't believe he said it and will now set out to destroy him.

Trump should invite them and as many other college and HS “winners” as he can find. Screw the pros.

Don’t know why anyone would post anything to the right of Karl Marx on Twatter - except maybe to explode a few libtard heads. The platform appears to be dominated by evil.

I've only had one account suspended.

Go to the sound of the guns. Twitter is where the war is at.
