Trump Cancels The Philadelphia Eagles Visit!

The Philadelphia Eagles ain't stressing over Trump canceling their visit to the White House.
Donald J. Trump revoked a visit from the current Superbowl champions.

The Philadelphia Eagles were slated to go to the White House. The controversy sparked by the national anthem has prompted Trump to disinvite them.

"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."

The Golden State Warriors declined to visit the White House as well.
The eagle doesn't like Trump.
The NFL Team Owners passed a resolution that requires all players, coaches and team members to stand for the national anthem. They will face a hefty fine or possible suspension if they refuse to do so. They also can opt out the anthem by staying in the locker room.

Many players and civil rights activists have criticized the decision and vow to protest the events.

Colin Kaepernick launched the protest in response to systematic racism in the United States. Then the right claimed that Kaepernick and other players were anti-police and anti-military.
