Malcolm Jenkins says bunch without saying anything at all
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump was supposed to host the 2018 champion Philadelphia Eagles at the White House. Then the president canceled, after finding out that a majority of the team wasn't going to come.
Instead, Trump held an event where he pretended like he knew the words to the national anthem.

On Wednesday morning, the Eagles had media availability. The only thing on reporters minds was the Trump controversy. Safety Malcolm Jenkins is one of the most outspoken players on the team. (During the season Jenkins protested during the anthem by holding his fist up.)

However, on Wednesday, Jenkins had nothing to say vocally. Instead, Jenkins came with a number of signs containing messages. The first one said "You Aren't Listening." Another sign said "Colin Kaepernick gave $1 million to charity." All together Jenkins held up eight signs at various points:
