To avoid any conflicts, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie had meetings with the Eagles and came to a conclusion that a select group would attend the visit while others had an optional day at the facility. Now, the plans are off unless the whole team is in attendance.

The select group was not good enough for the White House and President Trump. For the Eagles, they are still the Super Bowl Champions, if President Trump doesn’t want to meet them, it’s his loss.
