Donald Trump calls off Eagles' White House visit over national anthem dispute
“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 military and the people of our country. The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans 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 States Army Chorus to celebrate America.”

Boom!
Trump fires back over nixed Eagles visit: ‘No escaping to Locker Rooms!’

Perhaps the ones that are "protesting" can go hang out with Obama and have a "let's piss off more black folks" party. Nice job, boys...keep up the anger.
lol, I saw that this morning and figured it would make your guys panties moist.
The irony of course is that not one player on the Eagles took a knee even once last year, and less than 10 players even planned on going to the white house. But facts never get in the way of good propaganda with this regime. Gotta hand it to him though, he has done a great job of equating any dissent for the government as unpatriotic and an assault on the military. Pretty good maneuver for a draft dodger and a nice distraction from the current state of the white house.
Don't tell me you're really buying that number 10 are you.... ROFLMAOQuote:

But the number is really not important. What you should notice is Trump just won another battle in the NFL kneeling controversy. And yes his supporters love it....
One of the first lessons my pappy taught me in life was "When you find yourself in a hole stop digging and put down the shovel". The NFL and its players have yet to learn this lesson.
Ah, yes...moist indeed. Dripping wet, actually!Quote:

You want to make allies, not enemies.
Yeah, if only athletes would donate time and money for causes they believe in. Or what it they used their celebrity and platforms to stand up against what they see as injustice. :facepalm1:Quote:

OK...FRIGGIN' BINGO! What's with the facepalm, dude? That's exactly what I'm talking about. Right on for those dudes!Quote:

No knee takers in the black panther club.Quote:

Dude, the first guy I linked gave $1million to charity after the NFL colluded to keep him without a job, because Trump did such a good job labelling him as unpatriotic.
Raise your hand if you are surprised Corporal Bone Spur doesn't even know the words to God Bless America. What are the odds he could recite the first verse of the anthem, let alone the whole song.

This is why people (such as you and I) never come to terms with so many things...In my world, I'm certainly glad Mr. Kap is throwing down cash for charity, but on the other hand I think he should apologize for disrespecting the nation. I would bet the money would come rolling in if he did that.Quote:

If Kapernick was actually a first rate NFL QB capable of leading a team to a Superbowl win he would be starting somewhere. Plenty of felan's, wife beaters and all around assholes playing in the NFL.Quote:

Now Kapernick might be a serviceable second string QB, but those are a dime a dozen. Why hire Kapernick as a QB2, with all his baggage, and the high probability he will destroy your team chemistry when you can hire a solid QB2 for the same cost. Why hire Kapernick as your QB2 when you can get the very professional and equally as talented Ryan Fitzpatrick for the same money?
YMMV
