Clemson has executive chefs and a full culinary staff that cooks just for the athletes. And this was back in the Bowden era, I’m sure they have NFL level facilities now in the Dabo era. The training staff probably had a fit when they saw the spread Trump laid out, aside from some pizza on a late Sat night or some CFA nuggets once a week, they probably eat better as 18-21 year old D1 football players than most of us do as adults. The food was probably cold by the time it all got laid out, and it’s not like Trumps Hotel isn’t right down the street from the WH, he could’ve easily had his steakhouse whip up something for the team probably faster than it took his staff to amass food from 3-4 different places.

I mentioned that back in post 54. But a little fast food won't hurt anyone on occasion, especially young people. Professional Minor League Baseball Players (at the lower levels) eat it almost everyday during their seasons. Often the healthiest they eat are PBJ sandwiches.

Michael Strahan Invites Clemson For Lobster After Trump’s Fast-Food Buffet


I guess he thinks they deserve more than Big Macs
The fast food at the white house was a joke, so good for Strahan, although I'm sure he has the ulterior motive of making Trump look bad. But still, a nice gesture.

Lobster is not a "proper meal" for most Americans. Americans eat meat and potatoes in many forms along with their vegetables. I guess what's his face forgot that part in his chest beating attempt to look "compassionate".

Why not spend that money(whoever is behind Starhan pushing this farce) for the people who need it? You know, the victims of the shutdown who are starving and living on the streets.

Calm down drama queen, I'm sure Strahan donates money to charity too.

So you must know him to be so sure of that huh? Figures.

The drama queens are those who went ballistic because President Trump provided fast food, that he paid for, to the team.

Not scheduled till mid February. Wonder what happened with the Capitols? They accepted the invite but after a half dozen or so said they were not going to go, I guess it never got scheduled.
