- The White House disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles from its traditional post-championship visit on Monday after some players indicated they would not be attending.
- While the Eagles were prepared to send a smaller delegation, the White House instead chose to cancel their invitation altogether.
- In 2017, several Patriots players chose to skip the visit, both because of disagreements with Trump as well as “personal family matters,” but the visit still went on as scheduled.
The White House appears to have disinvited the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles from their ceremonial visit.
“The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow,” the White House said in a statement on Monday. “They disagree with their President 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.”See the rest of the story at Business Insider
