The Eagles had this coming, they really did. When you go out of your way to embarrass the President of the United States, you embarrass your country as well and you make an absolute fool of yourself. I don’t blame President Trump for doing this in the least. Trump officially disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House after their Super Bowl win because of their position on the National Anthem controversy. “The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow,” the statement from the President read
“They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem,” he added, “hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country.” That makes the team look like unpatriotic jerks, to say the least. “The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better,” Trump explained. “These fans are still invited to the White House to be a 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,” the statement concluded. Trump tweeted, “Honoring America! NFL, no escaping to Locker Rooms!
I’m sure you have heard that the NFL recently handed down a rule banning kneeling protests during the National Anthem, but allowed players to stay in the locker room during the performance if they didn’t want to stand. A number of football players cried foul over this and criticized the league for it. They whined over a perceived violation of their rights, but private entities can hire/fire at will and frankly, Americans are tired of seeing their nation, flag, heroes and President disrespected like this. The Eagles are throwing the equivalent of a temper tantrum and America is not impressed. Not in the least
Turn about is fair play here and the Eagles richly earned being embarrassed by President Trump. And he did so brutally. You do not want to tick this man off. He’s not some weak-kneed fanboy that caves over threats from others. Speaking of which, this is where the mayor of Philadelphia comes into the picture
