Saquon Barkley faced backlash for spending time with President Trump before the Eagles' White House visit. Critics, including commentator Roland Martin, accused him of lacking awareness about Trumpâs controversial actions. Barkley responded on social media, asserting his respect for the presidency and highlighting previous interactions with Barack Obama. He encouraged critics to refrain from politicizing his actions, emphasizing that his golf outings with political figures were about respect rather than endorsement. The controversy was fueled by teammate Jalen Hurts' ambiguous stance on attending the ceremony.
Just golfed with Obama not too long ago and look forward to finishing my round with Trump! Now ya get out my mentions with all this politics and have an amazing day.
Maybe I just respect the office, not a hard concept to understand. Just golfed with Barack Obama not too long ago and look forward to finishing my round with Trump!
