Before Donald Trump’s presidency, one of the biggest honors after winning the Super Bowl was the invite to the White House. However, this has changed drastically since Trump got into the White House, as many players (even in other sports) refuse to celebrate their victories with an undeserving racist who is ruining the country.
If you watch the Super Bowl last night, you’ll know that the New England Patriots won. But unlike when other presidents were in office, they’re not exactly hoping they’ll get an invite from Trump. New England Patriots’ Safety Duron Harmon has already made up his mind regardless of whether or not an invite is on the way. In an interview with TMZ, Harmon made it perfectly clear that he wanted nothing to do with a White House trip. He said:
Nah, man. They don’t want me in the White House, man.”
Then in a statement that would hurt Trump more than anything else, Harmon spoke fondly of Trump’s predecessor, former president Barack Obama. Harmon said that if Obama were POTUS, it’d be a different story:
That would be dope, man. Hey Obama man, holler at me, man. We love you over here, man.”
Harmon’s position is commonly held in the NFL now, as no one wants to step foot in the White House as long as Trump is there. Last year, the Philadelphia Eagles turned the White House invite down because half the team refused to spend time with Trump. Trump, of course, threw a fit. In a statement he said:
The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow. They disagree with their president because he insists that they proudly stand for the national anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country.”
With that being said, I’m sure Trump is writing a comeback insult for Harmon right now.
