Philadelphia Eagles visit to my White House has.....
been canceled!!
(CNN)The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' White House visit has been canceled due to the controversy over standing for the National Anthem at NFL games, President Donald Trump announced Monday.
Here is what the pervert said...:
"The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow," Trump said in a statement. "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."

Its not about the flag....they feel he is a racist bigot who hates black people!
The movement was initially started by Colin Kaepernick, who was formerly with the San Francisco 49ers. He drew national attention for refusing to stand during "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to kickoff.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in August 2016.

Players on the Eagles are some of the most outspoken social justice activists in the NFL, and multiple players took part in the protests during the anthem over the last two seasons.
Many players from the team were not planning on attending the ceremony as a protest of Trump (the pervert), his policies and his outspoken criticism of players who chose to kneel during the anthem.

"Sen. Bob Casey and Rep. Brendan Boyle, both Democrats from Pennsylvania, quickly invited the Eagles to the Capitol, and Boyle trolled Trump on Twitter."
and this from Boyle's twitter: Trump wasn’t welcome at Barbara Bush’s funeral. He’s not welcome at John McCain’s funeral. And only 10 Eagles players were planning to attend the White House ceremony. He’s just that much of an embarrassment.

He'll start this whole thing back up again to get his base riled up, he loves this controversy, he couldn't care less about the flag or the country.
