My,my well how American of you. I wouldn't walk across the street to see him. As a veteran I wouldn't serve under him. Hug away bro.

I voted against him twice, and lost so called "friends" because of my vocal opposition to his policies. But if I were in a situation where the only way to save the @$$hhole were to take a bullet for him, I would do my duty as a cav trooper and take it like a champ. Just the right thing to do as an American, especially as a soldier.

Respectfully disagree but you certainly have a right to your opinion. I served to protect your rights to express your opinion. Also to protect those players rights whether I agree or don't. Personally I think Trump has no respect for any opinion other than his own. He even discredited McCain by saying he wasn't a hero. Well Donald what have you done and where did you serve? Let me see your scars.

So dickheads who make millions and don’t want to stand for the anthem but want to walk on the same carpet as JFK and Reagan?? Stay home knit wits. 

Agreed, they can all stay home, play with their fidget spinners and smell their own farts while commending each other on how progressive they are

I agree with you on the last part, he definitely crossed the line

And I salute you. It's your right as an American to disagree with political leaders while respecting the institutions of our nation.

 

Ironically this president does not respect much, aside from his own ego. He expects fealty and endless praise like some insecure emporer.

Scars? That coward took 5 deferments to avoid serving in Vietnam.

Weren't the Eagles one of a few teams that never took a knee during the national anthem last year?

 

If so, why would they be protesting now?

Their issue is with a president they perceive as sympathetic to racists, and who came to political prominence by pushing the Birther conspiracy.

 

Since the Bills don’t have a chance, heres to the Eagles winning next year so Trump can have another tantrum.

I just read because plans were already made for the trip, instead of visiting the White House, the Eagles are now going to visit DCTom's House, where they are sure to get a much more cordial, pleasant welcome.

 

They might just want to reconsider, and try to evade snipers trying to storm the gates at the WH. That’s a tough one....

The number of players who knelt were few, and Vader said he thought none of the Eagles knelt. But here you are condemning them anyway. That's what Trump does. Paints with a broad brush and turns his core against entire groups of people who did nothing to deserve it. Divide and conquer.

Refusing the invite is disrespectful to the institution of the Presidency. They can, it is their right. But damn if it does not make them look bad. Very immature, more so than the person they disagree with.

Just an FYI, that post was a response to someone else.

Support the Troops!

I must have missed something I thought the anthem was dedicated to the country not just the troops

Torrey Smith has become the first player from the Eagles’ Super Bowl championship team to react publicly to President Trump calling off the team’s visit to the White House. Smith now plays for the Panthers.

 

“So many lies smh,” Smith tweeted. “Here are some facts: 1. Not many people were going to go. 2. No one refused to go simply because Trump “insists” folks stand for the anthem. 3. The President continues to spread the false narrative that players are anti military.”

 

The President cited the national anthem as the reason for canceling the visit, with the Eagles expected to send only a small contingent. It is not yet known how many players intended to make the trip.

STRONG. He is acting like a BOSS!?

 

So sick of spoiled petulant brats masquerading as role models for our youth throwing hissy fits just to get attention. Getting invited to the White House is one of the greatest honors for an American. I didn't agree when Tim Thomas pulled this stunt, and I don't approve now. As much as I disagreed with President Obama, if he invited me to the White House I would accept in a heartbeat and thank him and even hug him when I got there. Meeting and shaking hands with the commander in chief is one of the greatest honors an American can receive, no matter your political stripes.

I'm sorry, WHAT? Putting all politics aside here. You want to call these people "spoiled petulant brats" while praising Trump's move here? Trump is KING F'ing Petulant Brat. Any perceived slight will get a reaction out of him. His skin is as thin as they come. Men like HIM are the "role models" creating more big ol overgrown man children.

It is about respect for the institution of the presidency. Liken it to someone handing you a payoff check for your mortgage and you slapping it away because you knew he were a dolphins fan. Totally over the top derangement...

Since the dawning of millionaire athletes it's become clear they and a jaded society have an over bloated view of what they mean to America.

The only thing clear about any of this is that the NFLPA needs new leadership, they are the weakest of any major sport and now it’s evident they lack foresight and are once again going to hurt the players. 

 

The owners gave them 90 million that would have been the perfect time to squash the childish BS about who is standing, sitting, or kneeling each week and find a different way to further their cause.

Are we reading the same story?  You think it's the Eagles that look bad and are being immature?    How many times has POTUS done this now?   Anyone know if the Pittsburgh Penguins are available to go to the white house again?
