How did the Eagles end up being denounced Tuesday by White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for what she termed a “political stunt,” after the team decided to send fewer than 10 representatives to a planned celebration of the Super Bowl title with President Trump?
Trying to piece together what happened, how the Eagles accepted an invitation to the White House last month and then found themselves disinvited the night before the event, was not easy during Wednesday’s 40-minute locker room availability.
The locker room was the only place one could look for answers, since team chairman Jeffery Lurie has not been available to discuss what happened and the organization clearly wants to see if it can move past the controversy without ever mentioning Trump’s name again.
