Eagles Cancel Events For DC-Area Kids
Just Because They’re Not Going To The White House
Public Relations bust for the Eagles and the NFL.
Quote:Usually, there is a clear-cut good way and bad way to handle the fallout related to a feud. On Tuesday, the NFL Players Association made a terrible decision in response to President Trump disinviting the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House.
The NFLPA announced via Twitter that they were canceling “several player-led community service events for young people in the Washington, DC area.” They continued by saying, “NFL players love their country, support our troops, give back to their communities and strive to make America a better place.”
There is a major problem here. The player’s union decided they were not going to give back to impoverished children in Washington, D.C., just because of their dispute over the national anthem with Trump.
That’s an immature move by the union; they are taking out their frustrations on children who have nothing to do with the feud. If the players wanted to give back, as the statement reads, then they could still give back. In fact, with the White House celebration canceled, they have even more time to give back. There is no law that says they have to meet with the president in order to give back to the community in which he resides.

Trump made them do it. Everything bad is Trump's fault.

Right out of Trump's playbook of taking no responsibility and blaming others for his problems.

Donald Trump: Starts
I'm going to act more childish than anyone and cancel the eagles event...
Top that...
Philly Mayor: Hold my beer
This event cancellation shows that Donald trump is a tyrannical andi democratic mayor
Top that...
Eagles: Hold my beer
Trump cancelled the event that 10 players were going to attend, so we will cancel an event with school children.
