Philadelphia Eagles Await White House Invitation After Super Bowl Win
President Trump confirms plans to invite the Eagles, while debates over attendance resurface following past tensions.
- President Donald Trump announced the Philadelphia Eagles will be invited to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory.
- The Eagles' response to the invitation remains unclear, with past White House visits by sports teams occasionally serving as political statements.
- Former NFL player Adam 'Pacman' Jones criticized the idea of players skipping the visit, calling it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity regardless of political differences.
- The Eagles previously declined a White House visit in 2018 following their first Super Bowl win, citing disagreements with Trump over his stance on anthem protests.
- Trump praised the Eagles' performance and expressed hope they would attend, signaling a different tone compared to the 2018 controversy.
