Why was it canceled? Is
@CBSNews serious? It was canceled because the team ORIGINALLY told the White House that 80 delegates from the team were going to visit, then days before the event, the team said only 5 or 6 in total would attend. I'm no trump 'fanboy' but that is WRONG. -
That is correct. And probably why he didn’t want to discuss. The Eagles were in the wrong on this one.

Trump could learn a thing or two from how Doug Pederson handled that presser- Diffuse instead of exacerbate the situation for all parties involved.

This actually is very inaccurate. He was referring to the events that some players had at D.C area schools. Not the White House visit.

Missed opportunity to explain why the players were not comfortable meeting
@realDonaldTrump . Why not just state that the players did not want to meet with someone who called them son of b*** and because they disagree with his statementsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Last week the Eagles submitted 81 names who were planning to visit and full steam ahead. But on Monday the Whitehouse was informed all canceled but 2 or 3 and the mascot. It was a stunt to embarrass the president which backfired.

“Why was it canceled? Probably because we didn't go. I mean, we could have, but … we wanted to get work in and got our work done.”

Dude. Just be honest and stand on principal. You didn't go because your team finds the current president to a vile racist and you properly supported them. Unforced error. You loose.
