President Donald Trump effectively disinvited the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles from the team’s scheduled visit to the White House, upending a tradition and furthering his feud with the country’s most popular sports league. Mr. Trump announced the unusual move in a statement Monday evening, saying the players “disagree with their president” over his insistence that they should be forced to stand for the national anthem. The White House celebration was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
