On Monday night President Trump cancelled the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles visit to the White House on Tuesday.
The president cancelled the visit after most players on the team decided not to attend the event.
The Philadelphia Eagles Football Team was invited to the White House. Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event. Staying in the Locker Room for the playing of our National Anthem is as disrespectful to our country as kneeling. Sorry!

Far left Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney attacked the president after the announcement calling him a “fragile egomaniac.”

On Tuesday morning President Trump continued his attack on the kneeler league —“No escaping to the locker rooms!”

FOX News reported:
President Trump fired back Tuesday amid the Philadelphia furor over his decision to disinvite the Eagles from a White House event, touting a patriotic ceremony being held instead and declaring: “No escaping to Locker Rooms!”
Trump triggered a backlash from the City of Brotherly Love after he rescinded his invitation for the Super Bowl champions amid the controversy over national anthem protests.
The White House is instead hosting a “Celebration of America” event on Tuesday.
“We will proudly be playing the National Anthem and other wonderful music celebrating our Country today at 3 P.M., The White House, with the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Chorus. Honoring America! NFL, no escaping to Locker Rooms!” Trump tweeted early Tuesday.
