Re: NFL News and Notes for June 2018!!!

[ Edited ]

Like I was telling some friends...over the years there have been occupants of the White House that I liked and disliked, and  when I visted DC, it happened to be a year that I wasnt so happy, (and I won'tsay which one) BUT STILL it was a honor to see THE HOUSE OF THE PEOPLE, and celebrate the freedoms we have and remember all the sacrifices that went into it.....If you dont like the "occupant' just celebrate our country and the history that you will be seeing!!!  

 

At least my Spurs got to go to the White House.....boy Kawhi is all sour faced....and we had a lot of international players on our team too, Timmy in a suit is a rareity he's usually wearing shorts.......Manu, Tony and Danny Green smiling and enjoying the moment...even Marco...who left Obama's beloved Bulls smiled when mentioned......And THE SPUR'S FANS that were there got to enjoy this too!

“There are a lot of people on the team that have plenty of different views. The men and women that wanted to go should’ve been able to go. It’s a cowardly act to cancel the celebration because the majority of the people don’t want to see you. To make it about the anthem is foolish,” Smith added.

Absolutely right.  If the current occupant didn't have his temper tantrum because all the kids didn't come to his party then the fans would have had their celebration.  


 

 

 

i agree @JillyMarie. i also dont think that any of the players who wanted to stick to their principles will regret their personal decision.

Oh I think they will end up regretting it..........

 

And all this talk and attention on the anthem and protests hasnt really done anything to solve the real issues......

The Eagles are a great team and quite possibly could win another SB.  Perhaps a different scenario will develop and then a White House reception for the winning SB team would be more palatable to the players.

The NHL Caps are breaking the DC curse and after one more good draft my Redskins will be in the SB mix and after such a long Super Bowl drought they wont care if Sponge Bob was President they'll be there.............

With all the hoopla of today, it seems that the passing of Dwight Clark with ALS isnt getting much attention.....
Dwight was 61....and he was known for "the catch"....As a Redskin fan I was so happy he made that play and the 49ers defeated the Cowboys 28-27.........RIP Dwight!

I thought Smith said before the super bowl he would not

attend. Don’t you think players feel pressure to not go?

Smith has been against going for months but now feels

upset it was cancelled?

 

Understand the meaning of TEAM. You’re not individuals;

you win, lose, cry and celebrate TOGETHER.The TEAM

should have made a decision to go or not to go

TOGETHER.

 

Military members know what being a TEAM is, no one is

left behind.
