Man…you should do some research before commenting.

NOT ONE SINGLE EAGLES PLAYER TOOK A KNEE AT ANY POINT IN THE SEASON.

Read that again so it sinks in. Not one.

This isnt about the anthem…this is about thevl fact that there are people in this world who dont like Donald Trump and didnt want to meet him, and Donalds’ ego not being able to live with that.

Lets get something straight…his crap line about the people coming out for the event deserve better is exactly that…crap. The ones who were still coming knew well in advance that some players werent planning on accepting the invite, and still decided to show up.

If Trump were truly concerned about people deserving better HE wouldn’t have come to the event.

I work 2 blocks from the White House. I may walk over at 3pm and take a knee.

The only thing this President does very well. Reduce things to a cultural battle, and give hope to the most persecuted, powerless and alienated segment of the US population: the white male.

This story was dead a year ago until he breathed fiery and dangerous life back into it.

i dont understand why these black athletes dont stand proud for American … they should shut up and run that ball for our entertainment… it’s not like cops went overboard and hurt a professional athlete…/sarcasm

Trump jokes are the best. Ha. They can’t hide in locker rooms! A keeper!

Hey Roxi…when you are sitting around just before kick off, putting the final touches on your fantasy football lineup…and the game that is on FOX in your Locale plays the national anthem. And they show the big 100 yard flag on the field and the 3 F 18 Hornets go streaking by in the crisp blue September sky. What do you do. Do you put your bee down, stand up and put your hand across your heart? I doubt it. I have never been anywhere but in a stadium where people stood for the national anthem. Not in a bar, not in the lot outside of the stadium, and not in anyone’s home.

So maybe…just maybe…before we start getting critical of the the athletes who are just trying to make a point. Maybe you and I should both be standing up in our homes, when the national anthem come on. I bet Trump does when he’s in his house…the White House…watching the NFL on FOX!

184

On the one hand, you should totally do that. But on the other, Trump will probably have he secret service arrest you.

The OP is fake news, SHS tells us the truth (as always!):

186

this administration is one large dumpster fire burning brighter by the day

I would have considered it an honor to meet any president in the past. But I’d pass on this one also. For one thing, it would be not be an honor.

188

This is what he does folks, and his base eats it up like they are starving.

189

not a single person on the Eagles protested the national anthem.

And that’s exactly what the Divider-In-Chief has been doing all along and the deplorables eat it up!

I’ve asked 6 of the “fans” at the White House who was the @Eagles quarterback during the super bowl. Not ONE person knew. @NBCPhiladelphia

Not exactly sure who these @Eagles “fans” are but I have counted exactly one item of clothing with an eagles logo on it at the White House. #Eagles #EaglesNation @NBCPhiladelphia

Got to love the man-child president in essence taking his ball and going home.

My God, how can anyone yet support that twisted idiot Trump?

And by law, trump cannot interfere with private business decisions regarding employees. He’s just one big orange ■■■■■■■
