Melania Trump will skip Trump event ‘honoring America’ that is being boycotted by Eagles players

A spokesperson for Melania Trump said on Tuesday that the first lady would not be attending an event at the White House that is also being boycotted by players for the Philadelphia Eagles.

According to The New York Times, the White House cancelled an event to mark the Eagles' Super Bowl victory after finding out that fewer than 10 players were expected to attend. Instead, President Donald Trump insisted that he would hold an event celebrating America.

A spokesperson for Melania Trump told Yahoo's Hunter Walker that the first lady would also be skipping the event.
