Did you mean that part?
Did you miss the fact that Obama had 36 players present vs Trump's 34? A 2 player difference and there's a media firestorm over it? Some folks need to get a grip.

But, same issue as when Obama was in office, the nutjobs just can't help themselves.
Sure, there were kooks who railed on Obama for goofy stuff. But those people weren't in the main stream media. This wasn't started by some left wing fringe blog, it came from the New York Times.

Then you would know just how bad off Tom Brady's Mom really is and that he has not been at their last two WH visits.

Many football players are black and therefore are supposed to dislike Trump.

No, many football players in general hate trump.Don't accuse all the "black" players of having all the fun.

...Jason Stallman, the Times’ sports editor, had taken responsibility for the tweet in an email to The Post. “Bad tweet by me. Terrible tweet. I wish I could say it’s complicated, but no, this one is pretty straightforward: I’m an idiot. It was my idea, it was my execution, it was my blunder. I made a decision in about four minutes that clearly warranted much more time.

“Once we learned more, we tried to fix everything as much as possible as swiftly as possible and as transparently as possible. Of course, at that point the damage was done. I just needed to own it.”
Translation: "I lied and got caught."
