President Trump on Monday abruptly announced the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles would not visit the White House on Tuesday, citing the team's participation in national anthem protests.

"The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow. They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country," Trump said in a statement.

"The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better," he added.

Trump said Eagles fans are still invited to the White House "to be part of a different type of ceremony — one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem.

"I will be there at 3:00 p.m. with the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Chorus to celebrate America," he said.

Trump has frequently criticized NFL players who protested during "The Star-Spangled Banner" before games last season, calling for them to be punished or fired.

Several Philadelphia players were among those who protested during the national anthem last season to raise awareness of social justice issues. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has reportedly criticized Trump's views on the protests, as well as his "disastrous presidency" in private.

“Another fact I want to throw out there: Many of us have no interest in supporting President Trump," Lurie said during an October meeting with owners, players and league executives, according to The New York Times.

Some of the Eagles said following the team's Super Bowl victory that they would not visit the White House if invited.

League owners voted last month to implement a new policy that requires players to stand during the anthem next season, or face a fine. Players also have the option to remain in the locker room.

Even with the new policy, Trump continued to attack those who don't stand for the anthem, suggesting they don't belong in the country.

I wouldn't visit Trump either so good for them. They should have another parade on the same day just to spite him.

Trump is insufferable.

After bending the knee to Trump on this. They actually thought that would make this go away? Yelling at the uppity football players IS the win for Trump, you can't beat him at that.

gonna fuck around and actually make me like the city of philadelphia

He had the Business Council. When pretty much everyone resigned after the Charlottesville thing, he "decided" to disband the council.

Trump is super worried about his image and how it would look with 25% of the Eagles there. So the move is to act like he made the decision instead of the decision being made for him

He wants them to ban protesting while he's there and the British Gov won't do it. lol.

Have to be in a bind. Gonna go watch a brass band play the Star Spangled Banner for an hour while not seeing your team and having to pretend to love every second of it.

I don't feel the least bit sorry for them, but it's going to be funny.

and the locker room option was not in place last year

WTF is he even talking about?

Were we only sending Swoop to the event?

I'm troubled by the fact that the POTUS has so much extra time to deal with such nonsense
