Eagles Coach was ‘Looking Forward’ to White House Visit, LeBron James
and Steph Curry Don’t Want Invitation, Argentina Cancels Exhibition Match with
Israel in Response to Protest and Delaware Legalizes Full-Scale Betting
Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson expressed
disappointment at President Trump’s cancellation of the team’s planned White House visit yesterday. The Associated Press quotes Pederson:
“I was looking
forward to going down, obviously,” Pederson said Wednesday. “We did something
last season that was very special, a milestone in the city of Philadelphia and
for our organization. I was looking forward to being recognized as world
champions. It is what it is.”
The AP also reports
that Stephen Curry and LeBron James would not be interested in a White House
visit in response to the President’s decision. Curry refused Trump’s invitation
last year when the Golden State Warriors won the NBA championship. LeBron James
was unsurprised by the White House’s move and expressed the lack of interest in
attending even if invited.
“I’m not
surprised. It’s typical of him,” James, the Cleveland star, said Tuesday of
Trump’s decision to cancel. “I know no matter who wins this series, no one
wants the invite anyway. So it won’t be Golden State or Cleveland going.”
Argentina has
cancelled a pre-World Cup warm-up game with Israel following political
agitation, according to CNN. The report
says Argentinian
President Mauricio Macri describes Argentina’s decision as being done “in
solidarity” with superstar player Lionel Messi, who was singled out by
Palestinian protesters.
Palestinian
officials were outraged by the decision to hold the match in the contested
city. On Sunday, Palestinian Football Association chief Jibril Rajoub launched
a campaign against the Argentine Football Association (AFA) -- and specifically
Messi -- and called on people to burn T-shirts of the soccer player.
Yesterday
Delaware became the first state to legalize full-scale sports betting. NPR reports that
state’s Gov. John Carney was the first to make a bet, placing $10 on the
Phillies game last night, who then beat the Cubs 6-1.
