It's been a month or so sine the date
was set on less than 6 mos since the President took office. Has to be busy with all his responsibilities, especially newly elected. I agree it's a shame. I wonder how many could make the trip but won't. Again, politics rears it's ugly head.

Boston to D.C. is a quick drive. Clemson, or where these guys are now, is much further. Also, many of these older guys had the draft and pre-draft stuff to worry about. And then the younger guys had spring ball and classes.
On top of all of that, this is not a priority for either side. I'd much rather Trump focus on politics and the Tigers on football, but if they have time to do this, then why not.

Wouldn't it be refreshing if Clemson was above all this political BS

And just be the one normal faction in the whole world and just simply goes to the White House and gets a photo taken as a team? Not about politics? Just about Clemson.

Awesome. This is a lot of young men who probably thought they would never see the White House or meet a sitting President. They have that chance and it's amazing.
Sweet reward for very hardworking athletes who achieved their ultimate goal.

Other than NFL or working obligations, where have some of you seen that players aren't going for political reasons? Or are you making up fake news to be "political"?

I'm not sure but I don't think anyone has stated that. A few were wondering if it would be an issue with anyone.

I think it's great that the Texans are flying Deshaun and Carlos to the WH. I wish all of our drafted players could make the trip. For some it will be a once in a life time experience. Hell Dabo will have President Trump doing the Clemson Cadence before they leave. They earned this trip
