This used to be an American tradition, for the champions of the sports world to visit the White House and be recognized as champions, no matter who the president is. How sad it is that some of these athletes can't even be civil for an hour of their lives. My gosh, how often does one get an opportunity just to visit the White House?


It shouldn't even matter who is in office, and it shouldn't matter what the media thinks, if that means anything. The eventual NBA champions and the Philadelphia Eagles need to bite the bullet and just go. Be recognized. It can't hurt.

I remember when Republicans would cheer the few players who refused to meet with Obama. They sing a different tune now that entire teams don’t feel the need to meet with Trump. I love it.

LeBron, Golden State is making sure you don't get to decide.

LeBron says neither Cavs nor Warriors will visit White House


Good for them. There is nothing honorable about visiting the Trump Fascist WH!
Trump has been every bit as pro-black as his predecessor. LeBron and the other haters are just typical brainwashed morons.

And rightly so. Cops are more likely to shoot whites than blacks. Getting shot by cops without good reason is a problem for blacks, but it's MORE of a problem for whites. All this activism is based on a lie.

Doesn't matter if I don't care what they said -- or if you don't care -- someone else cared, and asked.

Now, I don't want to sell Trump short. He is also a hero and role model to nazis and other bigots, and he lives up to his title just as well, if not better.
Sounds pretty stupid with what you just said... I'll let the other posters laugh... at your expense...
