    Trump cancels white house celebration for Eagles.

    If they're going to kneel during the National Anthem, they aren't going to celebrate with the nation's leader.

    Certainly within the purview of presidential decorum and national interest, in my opinion.

    And I’m sure Trump waiting until a day before the planned meeting to publicly cancel it was not at all based in grandstanding, but instead was based on his deep, personal attachment to our nation and its flag.

    What I heard was that many of the players and most of the black players had already said they would not attend because they didn't agree with the no kneeling rule.

    There are many who will refuse to buy season tickets this year, the damage is already done for most. A little too late for the NFL to try something new.

    Why would anybody want to?

    Trump just made a big deal about something in their profession that changed how they need to follow the rules. If somebody did that with my job, I don't care who it is. I wouldn't like them very much. Like, keep your damn nose in your own damn business, schmuck.

    $#@! nationalism.

    Yup. Blacks continue to take down the NFL, and they won't stop until it's gone.

    Philadelphia replies:

    The Eagles did not mention the president or the White House in their response to the cancellation, saying in a statement, “It has been incredibly thrilling to celebrate our first Super Bowl Championship. Watching the entire Eagles community come together has been an inspiration. We are truly grateful for all of the support we have received and we are looking forward to continuing our preparations for the 2018 season.”
    — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) June 5, 2018
    Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney called out Trump, releasing this statement on the cancellation:

    “The Eagles call the birthplace of our democracy home, so it’s no surprise that this team embodies everything that makes our country and our city great. Their athletic accomplishments on the field led to an historic victory this year. Fans all across the country rallied behind them because we like to root for the underdog and we feel joy when we see the underdogs finally win. I’m equally proud of the Eagles’ activism off the field. These are players who stand up for the causes they believe in and who contribute in meaningful ways to their community. They 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. City Hall is always open for a celebration,” said Kenney.

    Yeah, those $#@!ing blacks, amirite? Why wouldn’t they want to take down an enterprise that gives them and future generations untold opportunities? That makes perfect sense.

    I feel like you wanted to use a different word here than “blacks.”

    One little detail missing from your whine here....no Philadelphia Eagle player kneeled during the National Anthem. None, they all stood, even some locked arms with police while standing. So, what is going to be your goal moving response now?
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

    - Jefferson Davis
