The White House blasted the Philadelphia Eagles for abandoning “their fans” on Tuesday, saying the Super Bowl champs first tried to reschedule a White House event to celebrate their victory and then drastically cut the number of team members who would attend.

“Unfortunately, the Eagles offered to send only a tiny handful of representatives, while making clear that the great majority of players would not attend the event, despite planning to be in D.C. today​,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. “In other words, the vast majority of the Eagles team decided to abandon their fans.​”​

Sanders said the team notified the White House last Thursday that 81 people — players, coaches, management and other personnel — would be at Tuesday’s ceremony.

They and 1,000 Eagles fans were cleared to attend, she said.

Then on Friday, the team sought to reschedule the event for next week because they said many of the players would not be there.

But President Trump was already scheduled to travel to Singapore on those dates to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

​”​The White House, despite sensing a lack of good faith, nonetheless attempted to work with the Eagles over the weekend to change the event format that could accommodate a smaller group of players​,” Sanders said.​

Then, faced with the low turnout, Trump announced ​Monday ​that he was disinviting the team — claiming “they disagree with their president because he insists that they proudly stand for the national anthem” — and instead turned the event into a “celebration of the American flag​”​ and included the Eagles fans.​

No Eagles players took a knee during last season’s games.

The NFL Players Association defended the Eagles and other athletes in the league in a statement on Tuesday.

“NFL players love their country, support our troops, give back to their communities and strive to make America a better place,” it said.

The statement went on to note that Trump’s decision “led to the cancellation of several smaller community events in the Washington area the Eagles players were to lead.​”​

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney called the president a “child who acts childish” for canceling the celebration and questioned Trump’s patriotism, raising his draft deferments during the Vietnam War.

“When he had the opportunity to serve his country for real, his father got him out of it, and I think it’s really disingenuous for him to talk about patriotism in any way, shape or form,” Kenney told CNN.

Trump got five deferments during the war — four for being in school and one for bone spurs in his feet.

He said Eagles fans stand with the team.

“Eagles fans understand that our players are individuals who can stand up for themselves and stand up for what they believe in and that’s what this country’s about,” Kenney said.
