Philadelphia’s mayor called President Trump a “fragile egomaniac,” and accused him of not being a “true patriot.” Mayor Jim Kenney released the following statement in response to Trump’s decision:
The Eagles call the birthplace of our democracy home, so it’s no surprise that this team embodies everything that makes our country and our city great. Their athletic accomplishments on the field led to an historic victory this year. Fans all across the country rallied behind them because we like to root for the underdog and we feel joy when we see the underdogs finally win. I’m equally proud of the Eagles’ activism off the field. These are players who stand up for the causes they believe in and who contribute in meaningful ways to their community. They represent the diversity of our nation—a nation in which we are free to express our opinions.
Disinviting them from the White House only proves that our President is not a true patriot, but a fragile egomaniac obsessed with crowd size and afraid of the embarrassment of throwing a party to which no one wants to attend.
City Hall is always open for a celebration.
While some have pointed out that no Eagles players actually knelt for the anthem this year, that fact obscures larger issues. According to NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo, the Eagles were going to send a contingent of less than ten players to the White House:

WHO?????
Two thumbs up for your comment. Would add to it what is more pathetic than any white emulating & glorifying thug culture, whether it be thru speech, attire or musical selection. There is trash on both ends of the aisle.
Some? 83% of the team wasn't coming.
“...it’s no surprise that this team embodies everything that makes our country and our city great...”
It was but over the years politicians like you turned it into a typical big city shithole. And aren’t those Philadelphia Kneagles something?
Is English your first language?
Thursday night, all Sunday long, and Monday night.
This doesn’t include college or sports “news”.
I concede that watching a game is not familial abandonment.
“If Trump is not a patriot for disinviting the players, then what are the players who were not going?”
They’re pure as the driven snow.
“Philadelphia is not America.”
None of the big cities are....they are just carbuncles on an otherwise wonderful country.
Philadelphia, city of whores. NEW NAME.
Trump=Tough Love
Jeffrey Lurie is a far left d-bag Democrat.
“Jim Kenney is a far cry from Frank Rizzo, Philadelphia’s courageous and solidly patriotic mayor back in the 1970’s.”
Kenney is a ringpiece.
Well the Eagles tried to take a nice thing honoring them and make it into a political stunt to try and embarrass Donald Trump.
Red herring from the scum that is your POS city, MR Mayor?
Still booing Easter Egg Hunts, we see.
If anything is fragile, its the NFL which is continuing to lose viewers and fans.
I agree
