Ok what does that mean? Did I break some kind of rule?

this is the kind of topic that will detour into Non-sports territory.

I don’t love your president. Respect? If that man has your respect and the team could lose it by doing anything short of murder or rape.... In fact, never mind. I’m sure they’ll go.

I won't take the bait, but enjoy the next seven years! ::cheers::

This quote is not political, but your initial post is extremely political. To exclaim your love of a political figure and to say that you will not respect someone who takes a stand against a political figure you love is extremely political.......

Since you are new to Tidefans I suggest you read and heed the rules. The Football board is just what it says. Any hint of political, religious or other non-football related comments will be moved to the Non Sports board. We realize being new you were not aware of this, just so you know going forward. The Mods on here are very strict about enforcing this. Just an FYI, enjoy Tidefans.

Regardless what people think of whoever is in office, I think we should still respect the office.

I have NO QUALM with PROFESSIONAL athletes opting out (James Harrison has avoided both Bush and Obama, and I'm sure he would have avoided Trump had New England won).

I think college athletes, however, should go and be required to go if the invitation is accepted.

I'm no fan of Trump, but I hope the players will go and without any incident or public statement.

I'll give it a shot again when he does.

Obama, George W and Clinton all turned my stomach just as much but respect for my country and that office means more than any feelings I have for them personally.

Trump hasn't respected the office since he's been there, and wasn't respecting the previous holders of it before that. As I said, when he starts showing some respect for the office I'll give it a shot. Not sure why I should have to continue to respect it when the person holding it doesn't respect it. The closest he came was claiming "I'm going to be so presidential you people will be so bored." I'm still waiting for that follow through.

Meh.

I'm not sure why we're supposed to respect any political office when the people who reside in them don't respect the people who put them there. This applies to (virtually?) every elected official in DC.

So, meh.

For those who care. The team is making the trip in April to visit the White House.

I wish I had said that.
