Thank God for President Donald Trump and his decision to call off a visit from the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles to the White House.

Trump’s decision to keep pressure on the NFL over players kneeling during the national anthem has created an opening for Americans of conscience to strengthen their case that systemic racial oppression is a stain on the nation that we can scrub away by sticking together.

In rescinding the traditional invitation, Trump said the Eagles disagree with him “because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country.
