Over the weekend, speculation – mostly based on a story published before the Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs in this year’s Super Bowl – grew that they would not visit the White House to celebrate their title.
The Eagles were disinvited to the White House in 2018, the last time they won the Super Bowl, after a number of players said they would drop out amid tensions over the anthem protests that had swept the NFL.
The Philadelphia Eagles would visit the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory if invited, according to multiple reports.
In the buildup to this year’s Super Bowl, Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson said he would be happy to visit the White House.
This month, Trump became the first sitting US president to attend the Super Bowl, and his presence was welcomed by several players, including the Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
