Trump calls off Philadelphia Eagles' White House visit over anthem dispute

WASHINGTON — President Trump has called off Philadelphia Eagles’ White House visit over anthem dispute.

The Super Bowl winning team was scheduled to visit the White House on Tuesday.

In a statement, Trump said:

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.

Nobody gives a good fuck what you "insist" Americans do while the national anthem is playing.

Go Eagles!

If people would do a serious NFL boycott, it would send a YUUUGE message.

Bloated orange autocratic piece of shit is about as patriotic as all the despots he admires. Add he'll be there with his military band to reinforce his ridiculous image as some sort of authoritarian. Eff off, Dumpster!
