WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump headlined a White House event on Tuesday that was originally intended to celebrate the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles but didn’t feature any Eagles players and was attended by few Eagles fans. And we always proudly stand for the national anthem,” Trump told the crowd as members of the military served as his backdrop. “We always will stand for the national anthem.”It was tough to tell what percentage of the crowd at the White House were Eagles fans. But not a single Eagles player sat or kneeled during the national anthem last season. Jenkins issued a statement on Twitter before the event saying that Eagles players were being unfairly maligned.
