The White House issued a statement Tuesday, further elaborating on the decision to disinvite the Eagles from their visit that was scheduled for Tuesday.
On Monday, Philadelphia learned its trip to the White House had been canceled, with the White House citing the team's approach to standing for the national anthem as the issue that forced the invitation to be revoked. However, none of the players on the Eagles kneeled during the anthem during the last regular season or postseason.
In a new statement from the White House, it details how the Eagles tried to reschedule the event after submitting a list of attendees and why the White House decided the team would not be welcome.
