Athletes should respect 'Our House'

Posted July 15, 2019 1:00 am

I am getting so tired of athletes refusing to go to the White House after they win. They get paid to play and they work hard to win. The greatest honor for the American people is to see the winners honored in OUR House.

The White House has seen many presidents come and go, but We The People own that house. Shame on those who disrespect us. Just as the American flag stands for American people and the people who fight or fought to keep us free, the White House represents the American people.

Stop all this hate and revolt. Protest is a gift of being an American. I honor that fact. I just believe the White House is Our House. Remember we have had 45 Presidents, but only one team or person wins a prestigious award at a time.

I want to celebrate those who win for America. I can't go to the parades, but I can watch them being honored for their great work at the White House. My House. Our House
