Maybe you’ve heard, the Philadelphia Eagles only had a few players who were willing to come to the White House, because they are suddenly too political to attend a ceremony with the president. President Trump will still be holding an event for the 1,000 Eagles fans that were let down by their team. The president also contrasted the NFL with other sports, and how other champions were not too political to attend White House ceremonies.
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!
