Nabbs4u Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I was curious if this would happen or not. Trump cancelled the Eagles Trip to DC because of attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama should invite the team over for dinner to his crib. I bet most of them would show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 What was the point of even agreeing to go if 90% of the team wasn't going to attend? Just decline the Invite from the jump. Don't try appeasing both sides by having a select 10-15 to represent the team. Trump's an idiot but I honestly don't have a issue with him canceling. Just wish it would of been a Organizational decision instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezla Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's a propaganda tradition anyways. The SB winning team should get front row seats to Wrestlemania. That's how you recognize the reigning Football Champions of the Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroc04 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Yea, yea. Let's celebrate it. Come through with the fellas. I'll put some beer on ice, fire up the grill, set up the horseshoes. Yea, yea. Wait...what? You guys don't want to come? Oh...ok, I cancelled the party anyway! I didn't even want you here in the first place. I'll throw an even bigger, better party and you won't be invited! Hahha! GTFO! You're all losers! Wentz sucks! Is our president a fat, orange haired 4th grader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It doesn't sit well with me that we're the first team in however many years not to do it, and break the tradition. Visiting the white house feels like it authenticates the SB victory just as much as the parade or the rings. Silly, but that's just how my dumb brain feels at face value. Of course I have to remember this just as much HIS fault as it is our organizations that the tradition will end. This unique presidency has been a breeding ground for "firsts." I don't blame a single player for not wanting to attend, and let's be honest, if he wasn't such good friends with Brady and BB, he probably would have cancelled their white house visit last year since IIRC plenty did not attend. At least our trip was just cancelled, rather that being uninvited like the Warriors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see the point it's just a photo op for the president and waste of time for any player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Glad they aren't going. Trump is like the Jnco's of Presidents. In 10 years, when everyone realizes this was a poor idea, its best not to have a picture of yourself with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I kinda figured it would happen, feel bad for the handful of guys that wanted to go for the novelty of going. It's really not surprising, and that's sad Between this and the super bowl we are gonna get a lot of bandwagoner, ( @Mastercheddaar, you get a free pass for your lifelong pain you've endured) Obviously let's not go too long down the politics path here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Don't really care. The tradition is pretty dumb and is just a photo-op for the sitting president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
