ESPN's Stephen A. Smith: Trump serving fast food to Clemson team was 'disgraceful' and 'classless'

ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith had sharp words for President Trump on Wednesday after the White House welcomed the national champion Clemson University Tigers football team with a fast-food dinner including McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King on Monday.

During Wednesday's episode of ESPN's "First Take," Smith said:

"I think it was classless on the part of the president of the United States," Smith said. "I don't give a damn about, they're talking about White House employees are furloughed.
At the end of the day, these are elite athletes, that are national champions, that put forth an absolutely shocking and stellar performance, and this is how you greet them?"

"Good Morning America" host Michael Strahan invited the college football team out to a "proper" dinner this week after photos of the White House event emerged on social media.

“I would like to invite the Clemson Tigers football team here for a great meal,” Strahan said on his show Tuesday morning.
“Lobster, whatever you want, we’re gonna take care of you,” he added. “We’re gonna give you the proper meal that you deserve because that was one great game."

4. I don't always agree with Stephen A Smith, on this I do

For crying out loud. Has he not heard of Door Dash? Grub Hub? Uber Eats? Lots of great restaurants he could have gotten great food food from if the White House staff could not have prepared a nice meal. He's pathetic.

6. And, a little bit fucking surreal.

Clemson High Deserved Exponentially Better.
