There’s a news blurb going round about a reporter who took a look at the crowd and decided it was all a bunch of staffers. Kinda like being let out of class to attend the pep rally. No sign of team logos, colors, or fans. So, he walks around asking random people who the quarterback was for the winning StuporBowl. Eight out of eight, for zero! ---

Newt Gingrich on the View this morning said that Trump is a Patriots fan so he didn’t really want the Eagles there anyway. ---

Posted this in the butt hurt thread: **Fox News apologizes for implying Eagles players were kneeling in protest. They were praying.** Just making sure it’s bolded and a headline. “Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz called out Fox News for using photos of players kneeling in pregame prayer during a segment about the team’s canceled Super Bowl visit to the White House, calling it “propaganda.” The network later apologized for showing the footage, which was unrelated to the NFL’s national anthem demonstrations, during its report on the rescinded visit.” But not the Trumpistan; doubling down: “The White House, meanwhile, issued a statement further explaining how and why the visit was called off. The statement said that “the great majority of [Eagles] players” were not planning to attend the scheduled White House celebration and that “ **the vast majority of the Eagles team decided to abandon their fans**.”” Bold and underline mine.

Trump quickly organized a flag humping event after canceling the Eagles, and reporters caught one of the (white) attendees kneeling during the National Anthem. He then got up and left. ---
