Cancel It

So, the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t get a tour of the White House.

Evidently, the majority of the team decided that they didn’t want to stand there with Trump, and as one player succinctly put it, “I wouldn’t go to a party he was holding, why would I go there?”

LeBron and Curry are on teams that may get invited next.

They’ve already declined.

And I am of the opinion that they should.

“Get the son-of-a-bitches off the field,” are words of someone looking to fight, and not a leader.

“When you’re a celebrity they let you do whatever you want,”  when talking about women, is not a great man-woman relationship starter.

Kids in cages at the border, as they are purposely separated from their parents is now getting slaps from the United Nations.

We used to be the leaders in the human rights questions.

There are about a thousand more examples...

...so I’m more concerned with the handful of Eagles players who still wanted to go.

So, let’s just make an announcement now:

If you win your league championship, you don’t have to go.

That may get the players extra motivated to do well.

And in the grand scheme of things, it’s not all that important, but the fact that they don’t want to go, kind of is.

Trump’s ego takes a hit every time he’s shut out.

He just wants to be loved.

And he’s roundly hated in a lot of corners.

I think he needs a rally where he can toss red meat to his base of people who think human rights are only for him.

Cancel the celebrations.

Cancel the fun.

It’ll end one day.
