It's very possible that Nick Foles truly believes that Donald Trump is making American great again (...and again, and again, and again) one circular and unprovoked argument about Anthem protocol at a time. It's also very possible that he's a man of faith that prioritizes the prestige of the position ahead of the pompousness of the prick holding it. Unfortunately, discussing the first option makes me want to chloroform myself with an American flag, and the second option makes about as much sense as loyally attending your local church despite the priest having a proven past of pedophilia. Therefore, I've developed a third theory. I don't know that the following truly explains why Nick Foles looked at an empty sign-up sheet for a soon-to-be-canceled White House visit and Hancock'd that sum' bitch so fast that you'd have figured he was gifting it to a sick fan. I do, however, know that it would be the most relatable reason for doing such a thing. As far as I am concerned, Nick Foles was just trying to milk what was left of the spotlight he stole before it got turned on someone who is somehow, someway at least 2% whiter. Think about it, other than the inflated contract a desperate team is going to give him next offseason for flashing in sports' most prominent pan, the spoils of that Super Bowl run are starting to spoil. OTA's are well underway, which means that Mickey and Nicky have long said their goodbyes following that complimentary promotional trip to Disney World. The 'Philly Special' and the Super Bowl MVP trophy have an eternal shelf life, but the chances that the person whose mantle currently claims the latter starts another game for the team he took to the promised land are growing rotten with each read-pass option. Truth be told, I'm sure Nick Foles is cool with sitting behind Carson Wentz like he did last season. All I'm saying is that if you were bound to a backup role, you too might be front row and center to be the first to shake hands with even the biggest prick of a President just to prove that, for the time being, that's still your rightful standing within a reigning Champion. Maybe Nick Foles is a Trump guy, but can we really rule out that he was just trying to get in one final swipe with his title-worthy trump card?
