Saquon Barkley declines Trump's invitation to serve on Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition

Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley did not accept President Donald Trump’s invitation to serve on his Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, he told reporters on Monday at training camp. 

Trump signed an executive order on July 31, which reestablished the council as well as the Presidential Fitness Test. In signing the order, Trump planned to address the "widespread epidemic of declining health and physical fitness with a time-tested approach celebrating the exceptionalism of America’s sports and fitness traditions."

Trump was surrounded by several athletes during the signing, including New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.
