The Eagles were invited to attend a celebration for their historic Super Bowl on Tuesday at the White House, but then President Donald Trump disinvited them.
Trump then held "A Celebration of America" on Tuesday instead, with Trump saying that the team disagrees "with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem."
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, fewer than 10 players planned to attend the White House celebration.
But Trump's reasoning about the national anthem didn't directly relate to the Eagles because during the season, zero Philadelphia players knelt during the anthem during the last regular season or postseason.
