NFL at the White House? Nope. NBA? Nope. Well, there's still the World Squash Finals.



Cavaliers basketball player LeBron James on Tuesday expressed support for Eagles NFL players who were disinvited from a White House event after many threatened not to attend.

James, who is facing the Warriors in the finals, told reporters that the winner of the series would not be going to the White House. He said that it was “typical” of President Donald Trump to rescind the entire team’s invitation because some of the players refused to attend.

James also argued that winning a championship is “way bigger than getting to the White House, especially with [Trump] in there.”

The golf tournament at the orange anus' golf course was exported to Mexico....I kid you not

PGA Tour to move tournament from Trump's Miami course -- to Mexico

By Euan McKirdy, CNN

Updated 7:08 AM ET, Thu June 2, 2016

(CNN)Cross-border migration has long gotten presumptive Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump hot under the collar -- and in this particular instance more so than most.

The PGA Tour is moving a key tour date away from a course owned by the reality TV show star, golf resort developer and real estate billionaire -- and relocating it to Mexico.
PGA pulls out of Trump golf course over comments

Trump broke the news himself, on Fox News anchor Sean Hannity's show, getting in a few customary digs about the decision.


"I just heard that the PGA Tour is taking their tournament out of Miami and moving it to Mexico," he said. "They're moving it to Mexico City -- which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. But they're moving it to Mexico City. And I'm saying, you know, what's going on here? It's so sad when you look what's going on with our country."

Can't risk a team having a young female player or a player's sister that looks too much like a young Ivanka.
