President Trump disinvited the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles from the customary visit to the White House. Trump issued a statement over the weekend saying that because not all players were planning to attend the event, he was scrapping the whole thing and continued his attacks on player who choose to kneel for the National Anthem – an act intended to bring awareness to police brutality against African-Americans. Joining us to give us his analysis of the situation is Philadelphia Inquirer columnist, MARCUS HAYES.
