We’re supposed to have 10 characters I think. But I could only think of one immediate response on my part

:roll_eyes:
 
I don’t like getting into this sort of thing but being from Philly it caught my eye, my response 😶 🧐😷 and must admit it never gets boring. Good morning and God bless
 
He’s not even trying to appear presidential like he had promised.

I hope the fans don’t show up.
 
Trust CNN to label anything Trump does as “appalling”…

Seeing as how reportedly 10 or fewer Eagles were actually going to attend, it appears the team in general was snubbing the President before this was even decided. Of course, in CNN’s usual calvalcade of negative Trump stories, this barely gets a mention.

CNN and other like minded media outlets are just upset they wont get to insult Trump by showing him with only 10 players next to pictures of previous presidents with 5 times plus the amount of players surrounding them.

Do fans typically show up for this? serious question.
 
Trump for all his flaws does a great job of fighting back. If you hit him he hits back at least as hard if not harder. He isn’t going to save America from collapse but at least he gives some sense that it isn’t a complete surrender.

So much for Trump being a model of Christian virtue that so many here purport that he is.
 
I don’t think Trump particularly promotes Christian values, but fighting back isn’t non Christian.

I think it is important to have a cause worth fighting back for. Don’s ego is not a cause that is worth fighting for.
 
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney replied with his own statement, saying that he is “equally proud of the Eagles’ activism off the field” and that the players “represent the diversity of our nation – a nation in which we are free to express our opinions.”

“Disinviting them from the White House only proves that our President is not a true patriot, but a fragile egomaniac obsessed with crowd size and afraid of the embarrassment of throwing a party to which no one wants to attend,” the statement continued.

It’s like this guy is reading my mind.
 
And people wonder why many didn’t want athletes making political statements on the field. They have basically turned the entire sport into one big political mess. I am sure lots of folks disagreed with Presidents Clinton and Reagan, but they didn’t protest on the field and overtly place themselves opposite half the country and President.

Athletes in the past had various political beliefs, and causes they supported. Many of those causes were in direct opposition to other players’ causes. Yet they did that promotion off the field.

Now thanks to the protests, and the NFL not knowing how to handle it, they have poisoned this sort of celebration as well. Nice job, Eagles.
 
I’d say the majority of the Eagles appear to be. I find it refreshing that we finally have a President who calls people out on their childish, selfish behavior.

But as usual, I suspect most folks on here who support Trump will back him on this, and most of the usual folks who hate him will oppose him here. It is admittedly pretty predictable, and doesn’t make for worthwhile discussion, frankly.
