Eagles were playing out of their league
The Philadelphia Eagles should stick to the NFL. Last week they tried to game an opponent who regularly plays in a really big league and got their showboating butts handed to them, much to the amusement of millions of Americans who are fed up with their sports venues being used to promote social justice claptrap. Following a tradition begun by Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump invited the Super Bowl victors to the White House for a celebratory visit to honor their victory. Rather than graciously accept and show up at the appointed time, the Eagles’ organization tried to play cute by agreeing to the date named by the White House then abruptly canceling at the very last moment after all the preparations had been made and their own fans had traveled to Washington to view their team being honored. The Eagles then arrogantly named their own date which just so happened to be when the president would be in Singapore for his talks with the North Korean dictator Kim as they assuredly knew.
It wasn’t like the president’s trip was a state secret; it had been broadcast all over the media, even by the leftist networks that so love the social justice protests in our sporting events. So there is no way the Eagles organization didn’t know what they were doing: they were trying to psych their opponent. Well it may have worked on the Patriots but it didn’t work on the Number One Patriot who promptly informed them they had just forfeited the game as no shows, much to the delight of those tens of millions of us who want the Left to get the hell out of our professional sports and take all their angry, defiant, social justice drivel with them. The Patriot-in-Chief then used the forfeited time to stage a patriotic event honoring the very themes of duty, honor, country that the swaggering Philadelphia Peacocks were dishonoring with their raised, clinched fists. Game summary: The too-confident Philly offense fumbled on their trick play and Donald’s defense ran it back for the winning touchdown.
If the Democrats, who are supportive of liberal politics being force-fed to Americans through sports venues, think that irritating tens of millions of NFL fans in the months leading up to the elections is the way to make their so-called Blue Wave happen, then, by all means, let them continue to think just that. It demonstrates such clear political vision they should dub their ingenious plan “The Left Coast Offense.” As for those grounded turkeys cooling their heels in Philly as they critique this first loss of the 2018 season, if they really want to get down with the cause, why don’t they hire Colin Kaepernick and make him first-string QB? So what if they have two super-talented quarterbacks who took them to a Super Bowl victory? Wouldn’t sacrificing the coming season by playing the whining has-been hack who kicked off this political mess in the NFL be just their season ticket?

here’s what I love about the guy: he backs them into corners and they don’t see it until after.
every. single. time.
they either say choice A (morally repugnant to Americans) because it’s counter to the president’s beliefs/statements, or they say choice B (morally repugnant to Americans) because it separates them from the conservative movement. and they congratulate themselves until the backlash appears, then it’s moonwalking back to the original argument, but the president has already moved on.
nobody trolls like Trump. and they just don’t see it. and he gets better at it when the chips are down – can’t wait to see this play out during each of the upcoming elections.
Well, then you have that dickhead LeBron James running his suck, also, which the NBA does nothing about (of course, I don’t give a shit about basketball, anyway). I vowed to not watch the NFL anymore, until they get rid of Goodell and all this SJW bullshit.
Know what, Trooper? I walked away from the National Felon League two years ago when Kaepernick started his bullshit. My Sundays are free, I spend more time with my family, enjoy the day, and don’t even miss the games.
The NFL is in the process of killing their golden goose, and the idiots don’t even know it.
The NBA? I’ve never watched it, so, I don’t care what they do.
There’s not much difference between pro football and politics. They are both games played by millionaires and owned by billionaires.
That is a great line, Arby; may I use it?
Feel free to use it. 😉
The NFL has become a reality show and Trump is the master of that game.
The NFL is an “un-reality” show.
Except Green Bay
As a season ticket holder for the GB Packers,I’ve been to almost every NFL venue in the country. Lambeau Field does not have a jail and a courthouse in the basement.
Which is why the NFL immediately banned their ownership model as soon as it came out. Scary the idea of fans running their own ball club. Offensive to the nature of the game.
City of Green Bay, not fans but pretty much redundant. If the team ever got sold the proceeds would go to the local VFW Post.
That would be one rocking VFW Post. I’d have to start sowing up for meetings!
It was not the VFW it was the Legion Post.
However,
“At the November 1997 annual meeting, shareholders voted to change the beneficiary from the Sullivan-Wallen Post to the Green Bay Packers Foundation, which makes donations to many charities and institutions throughout Wisconsin.”
Waiting for the FCC to dump a mega fine on CBS for De Niro’s F Bomb in prime time.
Me also. That was no Janet Jackson titty slip. Da Nero has been ramping it up and now would be a great time to squash the little (heh) shit. Trumps FCC chairman is no patsy either.
He needs to be introduced to Trump’s “little friend”.
I just watched the clip via Guardian. The boom cameras pan the whole crowd multiple times and closeup on a couple people.
If anyone finds a list of these assclowns please share.
I vote with my dollars and my wallet says “starve, f**kers”.
After waiting decades to see the Eagles win a superbowl, it was truly sad to see them beclown themselves like this…
How come these nfl players talk shit about social justice and White privilage when they themselves make millions and live in million dollar homes. I myself am sports handicapped except for NYC stick ball, stoop ball, punch ball, chinese box ball (asses up) and Nok Hockey.
There’s nothing I love more than having an overpaid, undereducated, privileged, arrogant, entitled, semi-literate, brainwashed left-wing social justice warrior-parrot tell me that everything I earned through hard work and persistence is because of “white privilege”. If by white privilege, you mean that for 4 generations, my ancestors worked their asses off to make an easier, better life for the next generation ever since they got off the boat from Ireland, then hell yes, I enjoy white privilege. DeNiro got it wrong. Fuck the NFL.
Yeah!!!! What he said!!!!
Man, Poetrooper lightin’em up!
If one can not put petty differences aside to honor country and it’s citizens your argument better be strong.
What is the argument of the Philadelphia Football team again?
They had the opportunity to be stronger, more honorable Men but decided to fart on 4th and goal.
GFY NFL.
You are on the money when it comes to so many of us being fed up with social justice crap and sports. As for the Eagles, I would like to congratulate them on leading the way–in player arrests for the five years from May 2012 through May 2017. I’m sure that the Secret Service is relieved that the thugs were dis-invited.
I haven’t seen the stats in quite a while, but the Vikings were leading the league in arrests……
I love when arrogant liberals get it broken off in their collective asses. I’m sure they will have a good explanation for those who traveled to DC for the ceremonies. F..k ’em.
Get Some Poe!! Glad to see ya back!
🇺🇸👍
Great article. Spot on, Poe.
I find it all the more offensive that these millionaires playing a child’s game are doing it from within billion dollar stadiums paid for by us taxpayers.
The left seems content to add politics to everything now. Instead of a 6 month mid-term cycle and a year cycle during presidential season, we now have 24/7/365.25 politics everywhere. Instead of being tired of politics once every four years for a few months, Americans are getting sick of it altogether. It’s a strategy that’ll only backfire on the left.
I like watching a football but I’d rather watch a small school college game or a high school game, paint dry or even watch grass grow than watch the gangsta’ pro league previously known as the NFL.
As I have previously stated in other comments in this forum, I am from and live in NJ, I’m an odd duck here in the Peoples Socialist Republic of NJ, was never a Springstein or Bon Jovi or a Giants fan nor an Eagles fan, but WAS a Colts fan, from the Baltimore days to Indy…not no more..in fact haven’t watched any NFL games in 3 years and if I go over someone else’s house with a game on , I go into another room or just leave. I refuse to watch these millionaire hypocrites with so called college educations who as far as I’m concerned majored in basket weaving(punters) or the gangsta’ village idiot with big muscles Ebonics social warrior put on a pedestal made of unbaked clay easy pass program(lineman/backs). phuck them never again will I ever watch an NFL game.
But forever a baseball fan
GO YANKEES
Oakland As catcher Maxwell knelt for the National Anthem last season. Said he recently,“Accepting responsibility is the first step in working to make amends for my lapse in judgment. I am truly sorry for the pain that my actions have caused, and while they are not representative of who I am, I understand that I have to earn back the trust and respect of those around me.“
No, he wasn’t referring to his disgraceful kneeling. He was referring to his off-season arrest for brandishing a gun at a fast-food delivery driver. Maxwell entered into a plea deal and will avoid jail. He says he won’t be kneeling again.
Just saw this… rude and crude, but love the point he makes…

Some of my more…liberal…friends believe that Trump cancelled on the Eagles because of the national anthem issue.
When I remind them that the event they believe happened did not, in fact, happen they go completely stupid.
Scott Adams has this whole issue nailed. The left is watching a different movie on the same screen as our movie and it is killing them. Literally.
Cognitive dissonance, that is what is up!
Sorry about the report comment. It actually is a matter of fact that the president cancelled the event due to low turnout by the players. He made that statement to a friend of mine in the secret service. So please get all the facts prior to hate bashing.
Spot on, Poe!
Well, it seems that old saying is still in vogue: don’t mess with the Big Dog unless you want to get bitten.
I do not understand why these twits on the left side of the fence think they can outwit someone who has been playing real strategies for years. They just end up looking – well, dumber than bent screws.
Good news, folks! The NFL and MLB will be participating in the LGBTWTFBBQ Pride March this year in NY. The NFL is going all out, so to speak, and has a float in the parade. Isn’t this just wonderful?
Well, since the QB moved up under center, we all know where his hands go. The Pride Parade was just one small step from that.
I wonder just how much more asinine and childish the National Felon League will get as it continues its slide down the shitpipes?
As long as they keep renewing Goodell’s contract, they’re just getting started.
No doubt about that as well as Goodell laughing about it while he slaps his wife and fucks his mistress and Secretary all the way to the bank.
And Poetrooper, in his long-awaited first at-bat since kicking cancer in the balls, knocks it right out of the ballpark! Ol’ Poe is back!
I was already done with pro football. Here’s hoping they continue to hemorrhage money until those primmadonna asswipes find themselves needing to work a real job like the rest of us.
The really funny part of this whole story is what the White House did with all those preparations…they returned them, and upgraded the menu for the 40 Gold Star families who got invited instead. The best part? Word in the Gold Star community is, no one knew, heard, or could tell that date had been reserved initially for those who can’t be bothered to stand for the flag their loved ones came home under.
Wonder why neither the media nor the overpaid princlings have commented on what the President did with a sudden opening in his schedule. That right there is epic level irony.
I loathe any politicization of the Gold Star, but I have to say this wasn’t “politics”. This was changing the script to a language they can’t speak or understand.
That’s so very good to hear. In my view, that should be an annual event: Gold Star Moms at the White House.
Head coach Doug Pederson, QB Carson Wentz, and a few others wanted to come to the WH, but the inmates rule. The Golden Flow Social Justice Wah-rriors have also decided not to accept an invitation. On flip side, the Washington Caps (except one player) look like they will come to the WH – the crowds should be YUGE for this.
That one player, Devante Smith-Pelly, is Black and from Canadia. He says that he doesn’t follow politics, but that Trump is racist and sexist so he won’t go. Bwahahahahahah.
A bunch of millionaires who forgot what the “streets” were like.
And who gets arrested on the Eagles next? Any takers?
Great commentary Poetrooper! The PC peeps will never admit it, but the whining NFLers are not really complaining about police brutality. This is nothing more than the militant thug players who otherwise would be dealing drugs back on the block if they were not being paid millions to play a kids game, to thumb their collective noses at the people who generally watch the game and love our country. Nothing more, nothing less. And not to get off on a tangent, but I have not heard anymore about Confederate monuments lately. What I want to know is, when are these same “educated” people going to request that Fort Hood, Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Benning, Fort Jackson and any other fort named after a Confederate General be changed?
I forgot Fort Bragg!!!!!!!!
I guess I’ll answer my own question. Never, cause they are too fucking stoooooopid to know any better.
