The team seems pretty divided over the WH visit

This might be an unpopular opinion but I think it's pretty sad that several players are on twitter taking the whole WH visit personally. They should just suck it up...It's an honor to go to the white house. It's not about politics, it's about being recognized for your greatness. I do think it's kind of sad to be served fast food but Alabama was not fed food last year so they should at least be appreciative they got something. I'm not a republican...but c'mon. They may never get another chance to go to the white house again. Treat every victory like it may be you last because you never know when you're going to win again (although I believe we win another natty or 2 in the next few years).

Anyone who didn't want to go should have stayed home.

I'm sure handcuffs and guards weren't involved.

I think if a player chooses not to go in some sort of political protest, fine. Just remain quiet and don’t make yourself and this University look ungrateful and unappreciative of an honor.

You have your opinion and they have theirs. Free speech in America. Trump can get on Twitter and so can they.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences.
They represent Clemson Football, and Clemson Football is apolitical and neutral.

I mean, whether or not you like the party in charge have a little respect for your teammates and coaching staff, maybe a bit of respect for Clemson and Clemson Fans too.

I agree. I am a liberal and I would still consider it an honor and would love that opportunity.

I'm barely right, but I tend to vote Republican. But I absolutely would have loved the chance to visit Obama in the White House and shake his hand.
I might not have been able to say the same about Hillary. That would have been tough for me.
But either way, not a chance in hell I'm getting on Twitter and making fun of them the day after the visit.

I am a moderate and normally think going to the WH would be an honor to celebrate a championship, but I can also see where others would think otherwise considering the shutdown and other things going on that they may disagree about.

I am selfish. I would go partying with Kim Jong Un, Putin, Muschamp, etc. I don't care.

Is is sad that Trump had to shell out money for fast food

Ideally, the cooks would not have been furloughed.
Ideally, there would not have been a snow storm that showed up Monday morning and closed a lot of businesses down including food services.
Ideally, this event would not have been on short notice so that a effort could be made to cater the event.
Considering the circumstances I think it turned out pretty well.
They were invited to America's house to celebrate a 15-0 national championship. Why would anyone complain....just sad.

The history alone would just be special. It opened Nov 1, 1800. Think of everything that has happened there. Imagine FDR sitting there talking to Churchill when Winston was begging us for supplies to save the Brits at Dunkirk? FDR turned him down. That's just one of thousands of things. I would be blown away to walk around there. They can tell their grandkids about it.

divided ? Some went.. some didn't

Some people like coke Some like Pepsi Some even like RC
That isn't division.
You are clearly prejudice. If a kid tweets he is looking forward to the WH.. he is cool.
When a kid posts he isn't...he isn't cool.
Posting your opinion is either cool or it isn't.
If you like coke..tweet the heck outta it.. If you like RC .. tweet the heck outta it. Same for the Pepsi peeps
The only division here is on tnet.

Thank God that He didn’t make us all alike. Pro-Trump, Anti-Trump, this country affords each and every one of us to have a difference of opinion. Football players as well.
