There were 80 members of the Eagles organization that RSVPed and committed to attend this event as recently as Friday as well as over a thousand fans of the Eagles organization and the Eagles are the ones that tried to change their commitment at the 11th hour. And the president frankly thinks that the fans deserve better than that and therefore we changed the ceremony to be a focus on celebrating our great country. \u003cbr/\u003e              (Reporter: Why does he think it's about the national anthem and is he concerned that ... we heard from (NBA players) Steph Curry and from LeBron James, the suggestion that whoever wins the NBA championship, they are unlikely to be here. Is this something more than the national anthem? Something other than the national anthem?) Look if this wasn't a political stunt by the Eagles' franchise then they wouldn't have planned to attend the event and then backed out at the last minute. And if it wasn't a political stunt then they wouldn't have attempted to reschedule the visit when they knew that the president was going to be overseas and if this wasn't a political stunt they wouldn't have waited until Monday, well after a thousand of their fans had traveled and taken time out of their schedules, to offer only a tiny handful of representatives to attend the event. (Reporter: More on that point, this isn't about the national anthem, it's about so few players coming in the end? Correct?) Certainly the president has been very clear what his position is in regards to the national anthem. We've never wavered on that. The president thinks that people should stand for the national anthem, particularly when it comes to the NFL it's not about a particular team. It's about having pride in our country and about being respectful to the men and women who have fought and died to preserve our country. In terms of this the Eagles are the ones that changed their commitment at the last minute.
