The White House used to be a place of honor and respect -- a place athletes went to be honored. Now it's a dumpster fire run by a goon!

(135,795 posts)Sorry, this is b.s, what has any athlete in recent times done to deserve being honored?
Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson and Muhammad Ali are heroes.
Kapernick, nyet.
Let me know when one of these insulated millionaires cures cancer or refuses to play for a team who demands money to build them a new stadium.
This is going to play well with his (Trump's) voters dang it all.

Kapernick had an absolute right to protest (until his team's owner or manager demand they all stop) but not a right to whine when the results of his protest went bad. Did he not know the character of the people that watch his sport?
He is no hero, give me a break.
