If it's true that the Seattle Seahawks have refused to go meet Drumpf at the Whitehouse, my loyalty to my Bills is being severely tested.
Not really.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.
Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
Three Vietnam War veterans sued the federal government seeking to block the construction of a new 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Ceremony Thursday, arguing Trump has not sought the necessary approval from Congress or independent government agencies.
