PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcom Jenkins delivered a powerful response to the defending Super Bowl champions being disinvited to the White House without saying a word.
A day after the Eagles were scheduled to see President Trump, Jenkins held up about a dozen of hand-written signs on Wednesday, standing in silence as a large crowd of reporters continued to ask him questions.
Some of the signs read:
"You aren't listening" "More than 60% of people in prison are people of color" "Any given night 500,000 sit in jail. Convicted? No. Too Poor? Yes #EndCashBail" "Chris Long gave his entire year's salary to educational initiatives" "Colin Kaepernick gave $1 million to charity" "Devin McCourty Duron Harmon, Matt Slater and Johnson Bademosi lobbied to raise the age from 7 to 12 entering the criminal justice system" "in 2018 439 439 people shot and killed by police (thus far)"
You Aren't Listening!
