A lot of you seem rather upset that a handful of players


Jan 15, 2019, 4:08 PM

chose to skip the visit to the White House, and I can understand how you feel. Believe me, the coaches ARE aware of this and are addressing this with recruiting.

How many players are in a handful? And are these BigDex hands?***

Again I’m guessing none of us here did much of anything outside of yell real loud to achieve the ability to be invited.

The ones that went did and the ones that didn’t didn’t. Like I said earlier... how many teams in college football would have preferred eating burgers on Monday night in the White House. I bet Bama would take cold burgers over Filets and national embarrassment on the field.

This is 'Merica, right? If you don't wanna go, you don't have to. I don't know who didn't go, but I know there were lots of graduates on that team. To me, that means they're done with school activities and are free to do what they want as long as it's legal.

I agree, most of them had been already anyway in 2017. Their obligation to Clemson is done, can they move on with their life?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah..and a group pic from 2017 WH visit showed a lot of 2019 missing players..


Jan 15, 2019, 4:25 PM [ in reply to Re: A lot of you seem rather upset that a handful of players ]

but again, the NFL taking a knee thingie had not occured in 2017, so it’s possible that not showing up in 2019 was due to protest but then again it may have been to being graduates & making plans for the NFL and been there/ done that.

And, maybe they heard about the fatty cold burgers & fries! ??

What’s important is they have a right as an American to choose!

It may seem nieve - what nobody has mentioned is these are still students, they still have classes to go to. They missed 3 days last week due to the game. It could be some stayed so they don't get any further behind and for some going to the White House is not that big a deal.

I don’t see what the big deal is here. They didn’t want to go. If I had been invited to the White House 4,6 or 8 years ago, I wouldn’t have wanted to go myself. I’m sure everyone would have understood my decision.

That is where you are wrong. They would have put you on CNN and labelled you a bigot and destroyed your reputation and today you would be homeless. I don't care if people make political statements, I just hate double standards.

Don't forget they would be doxed,
confronted in public, threatened with bodily harm and told to kill themselves. All hallmark moves of the left when presented with someone who dares disagree with them.

Just a personal observation, every member of the team needs to attend if for only one reason; the respect of the "OFFICE", not the "MAN' in the office. You may not like the man or have voted for him, or like his "POLITICS", or be a member of that party's affiliation.
But respect the "OFFICE".and go.
Granted, you don't have to go, and "NOBODY", including the "HEAD COACH" should force you to go, or "PUNISH" you for not going.
"FOOTBALL" is not "POLITICS", and should not go"HAND-IN-HAND". Rather going to the WHITE HOUSE
should be nothing more than a reward for a job "WELL-DONE", which is not how I like my steaks, but heck steaks were not being served,were they?

Sounds like North Korea


Jan 15, 2019, 5:05 PM

They have to show respect to the office of their supreme leader.

Re: Sounds like North Korea


Jan 15, 2019, 5:28 PM

No, in North Korea, they have to sing songs of praise to Dear Leader. Since the State says there is no God, the people basically get to treat their tyrant as god. I haven't heard anybody try to compel any Muricans to do that.

Why do some of you act like our asking you to be respectful is equal to asking you to commit a crime against your conscience? Do you expect us to believe that your conscience truly is your guide at any other time in your life? Or do you only bother listening to it when it says, "Pffft. Don't show respect. Your disrespectful friends will give you grief for this."

Most Americans have no clue what a crime against conscience really is, because we've never been required to exercise one.

He absolutely does to the 50% that put him in office, I don't blame him for ignoring the rest because of the way they have treated him, his wife, and family! Elections have consequences as your hero obummer said!

Jan 15, 2019, 7:42 PM

. . . so I wish that more of the team had attended, but CDS said two years ago that it was up to the individual player. There would be no punishment for attending or not attending. If anyone has a problem with that, perhaps they should take it up with Dabo rather than second-guessing any player.

I am just happy that they beat 'Bama! Go Tigers!

Not sure what you mean about recruiting? If you mean they are only going to recruit players that would be glad to meet Trump we won’t have many competitive teams in the future.
