Phila Eagles will not go to W House Tues.

Many eagles players did NOT want to go, so then the whole team was UNinvited. Yeah PHILA! The founding fathers of our "city of brotherly love" would definitely approve!

The Eagles were set to visit the White House on Tuesday. It’s a tradition that has been in place for quite some time.

However, multiple members of the team have said they didn’t plan to take the trip. Malcolm Jenkins and Chris Long are two of the more prominent players that won’t be there because of their differences with President Donald Trump.

On Monday, Trump released a statement regarding the visit he had planned for the Eagles. To summarize, he told them they are no longer invited.

All they would gave been is a photo op for a man who thinks the National Anthem is all about him. Taking a knee is an insult to HIM.
