And all pro athletes who don't want to be in the company of the White House's puppet pResident. It would send the message of who the American people feel is the true President of the United States, Hillary Clinton.
If I were any pro athlete, I'd ask my team if they'd do that. I'm sure the Clintons would accept and dignify their accomplishment with honor and grace.
A lot of athletes don't want to 'celebrate' their victories with a bigot like Trump. - Share Blue

(12,051 posts)the disgusting display of crap that the Baylor team got. The team may have to go and play nice, but they don't have to eat. That's how to protest.
It would also be proactive of the University to request food items that fit in with athletes' diets -- I don't think that's an outrageous request, since no White House before this one has had the temerity to serve up such disgusting slop to their guests, athletes or not. Talking to a White House aide about the food should be a priority.
