Really...people screaming about addition to an already built wall is crazy, but things like using the IRS to attack groups, fast and furious gun running, shutting down FOIA etc are normal ops...lol

These players are protesting because they're racist.
Prove me wrong.

Meh. Patriots suck. Hope Trump just serves those triskets with chunks of velveta on it.

So instead of grown men crying about you don't want to go to the White House because you don't like Trump, take it as an opportunity to have a productive discussion / meeting.
Second, you are there to celebrate a national win in football. You can put politics aside for one day to celebrate. Why does everything have to be about protesting and politics?
Sport, ever since it became a business, has been used as a political tool.
Dont be foolish.

I have already read that there are New England Patriots that will be skipping the traditional congratulatory trip to the White House for winning Super Bowl LIII. I am in full support of their decision. Unlike the fools that take a knee in the NFL who end up disrespecting our entire nation and specifically our armed forces (this may be inadvertent, but still a fact for many Americans); declining an invitation to the White House is a fully appropriate form of political protest.
In skipping the White House visit you are showing your disapproval of the Administration in office. It is specific and appropriate and one that I too would avail myself of if the circumstances were reversed. If I had been invited to visit the White House during the Obama Presidency I would have skipped the invitation as well. If you attend you are giving your tacit approval for policies that you don’t support and respect to someone who you don’t believe deserves that respect.
So, I wanted to voice my support for the players skipping their White House visit. Bravo to you for engaging in an appropriate protest and you have my respect (not that you need it). I fully understand your position.
PS I am also happy to take you invitation if you aren’t going. I would love to meet this POTUS.

Pretty pathetic if you ask me. I've never seen such disrespect for our nation, our president, our flag, our constitution, our values, our democracy and our laws as I have seen from this pitiful stock of human beings since Clinton - Obama. This... This is their legacy.
Congrats freeloaders! You've turned this country to crap. Time to go through another dust bowl, 100X worse than the last and just maybe enough cleansing will be done where the people in this country finally understand all the things that were really important and how they just flushed it all down the toilet.
It's ok... I boycotted the NFL as well after they totally bombed on the Saints. Screw em. Screw the liberal agenda. Screw it all. I'ma crab my lawn chair and my camdin tablets. Can somebody please start the dust bowl already? I'm ready to see the country fiend for it'self for a while. I think 1 year is plenty. Maybe 3 if we really want to thin the herd.

But we can't figure out what it is they are protesting now... Seems they should at least tell us...
