The Eagles’ long-awaited visit to the White House was fewer than 24 hours out.
There was plenty of time for things to change.
Late Monday, President Trump rescinded the Eagles’ invitation to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to celebrate their Super Bowl win. He said “the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better” than the “smaller delegation” the Eagles were planning to send.
A team source told The Inquirer and Daily News that fewer than 10 players were planning on attending. You can read more about that here.
Instead, Trump announced plans to “loudly and proudly play the National Anthem” at the White House on Tuesday.
