Monday, the White House released a statement saying announcing the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles won’t be joining the President at the White House to celebrate their victory.
Citing the kneeling controversy, the WH statement said Eagles fans deserve more than a partial delegation. In language sounded exactly like Trump, the statement said, “they [Eagles] 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.”
Statement here:
According to a reporter for the NFL Network, The Eagles owner didn’t want to put players who were pro-kneeling in a tough spot and decided to side-step the issue by sending a small group of players to represent the team.
Can we stop with the politicize ALL THE THINGS now? It’s ruining everything. EVERYTHING.
