I am concerned that going to the White House to meet Trump with the current political landscape could not be good? The left media like CNN may be wanting Dabo to say some kind of political rhetoric about Donald Trump, and if he doesn't, they could throw the Clemson football program into some of these issue.
CNN has all the power. Hopefully they will realize that these are just decent young men trying to get an education and play football, and not political football.
I would dispute the last line - CNN doesn't 'have all the power.' Right, wrong, or indifferent (likely some of each depending on the issue and the person) people are no longer taking what the press says at face value.
And if you think Dabo can't navigate his way around a PR minefield......
