anti-america, anti-flag and anti-military. is the president aware that not a single player on the eagles through the entire season knelt for the national anthem? >> the president's position on not just the anthem has been clear. but let's not forget, this isn't -- there were 80 members of the eagles organization that rsvped and committed to attend this event, as recently as friday. >> reporter: why is he acting like this about 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. >> reporter: the president has been talking about the anthem controversy since last september, lashing out at players who protested police misconduct and social injustice by taking a knee. >> get that son of a [ bleep ] off the field right now, out. he's fired. >> reporter: the issue fired up many of his core supporters. just yesterday, fox news showed this image of eagles players it suggested were kneeling during
