Fresh off his Super Bowl win, Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins told CNN Monday that he intends to skip the Philadelphia Eagles upcoming visit to the White House to commemorate his team's victory. 

"Nah, I personally do not anticipate attending," Jenkins told CNN's "New Day." 

Asked if he has a message for Trump, Jenkins said, "My message has been clear all year ... I want to see changes in our criminal justice system. I want to see us push for economical and educational advancement in communities of color and low-income communities. And I want to see our relationship between our communities and our law enforcement be advanced."

Jenkins has been one of the most outspoken NFL players amid President Donald Trump's feud with the league over players taking a knee during the National Anthem to protest racism. 

Jenkins, who has raised his fist during the National Anthem to protest racism, leads the Player's Coalition — a group of NFL players negotiating with the league to address the concerns of those who protest. 

His teammates Torrey Smith and Chris Long also indicated that they would not attend, citing their opposition to Trump. 

I would not be surprised if there are many more players who will also be giving this a miss.

I don't see how Donald Trump could possibly suggest that he could bring the country together, or solve the Middle East crisis, if he cannot even get a team of football players to come to the White House.

We will have to wait and see if Trump goes on the attack against these players like he did when some of the Golden State Warriors basketball team members refused to show up last September.

Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!
