Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson made it clear Wednesday the team is ready to move on from the disinvitation controversy, choosing not to engage in a back-and-forth war of words with the White House. Welcome.”Peterson said he was disappointed when he found out Monday night the ceremony at the White House to honor Philadelphia’s first Super Bowl victory was canceled by the president. So that’s where we are at.”According to the White House, the Eagles initially promised 81 people would attend the ceremony, but then called the next day to say only a handful wanted to go. “I was looking forward to it,” Pederson said, when asked if other championship teams should stop from going to the White House. In lieu of the canceled Super Bowl ceremony, the White House hosted a “Celebration of America” in which God Bless America and the Star Spangled banner were played by the U.S. Marine Band and Army Chorus.
