Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith responded to President Donald Trump’s announcement Monday that players had been disinvited from an annual event honoring the winners of the Super Bowl, calling the decision “cowardly” and “foolish.” Trump said in a statement that the full squad of the Eagles, who defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, would be unable to attend the celebration scheduled for Tuesday after some members expressed that they did not want to join. “The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better,” read the statement, which claimed that players who chose not to attend did so because they “disagree with their President” over whether they should be allowed to kneel during the National Anthem. “So many lies,” Smith, 29, responded on Twitter, claiming Trump had misrepresented players’ reasons for not wanting to attend.
