More details have emerged on the Philadelphia Eagles’ decision to skip the traditional White House visit.
Every year, championship-winning teams in prominent American sports leagues and top-level NCAA teams get to visit the White House and meet with the president. The Super Bowl winner tradition began in 1980, when then-president Jimmy Carter welcomed the Pittsburgh Steelers and World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates together.
But over the past 24 hours, reports have stated that the Philadelphia Eagles will do the same thing as they did seven years ago: Skip a visit to the White House with Donald Trump in the presidential chair.
The news was first reported by Steve Brenner of The U.S. Sun. Speaking to an Eagles team source, Brenner heard the following:A source at the Eagles, who spoke anonymously, stressed that conversations about refusing a visit with President Donald Trump after beating the Kansas City Chiefs LIX 40-22 have already occurred…a well-placed insider told The U.S. Sun that recent discussions between the players and the Eagles front office resulted in a “massive no” when asked if they would accept an invitation to the nation’s capital.”
A Philadelphia Eagles ownership source told The U.S. Sun ahead of Super Bowl 59 that if the Eagles won the game, they wouldn’t go to the White House. An unnamed Eagles player also said “pretty much everyone” agreed they’d decline the chance to meet with President Trump.
After multiple Eagles players and team owner Jeffrey Lurie spoke out against Trump, the then-president announced that their invitation was rescinded. Months earlier, Trump also canceled the Golden State Warriors’ visit.

The Eagles made easy work of Patrick Mahomes and the defending champion Chiefs, defeating them 40-22 in the big game to deny KC’s three-peat bid. And with their second Lombardi Trophy in eight years, Philly pushed themselves closer to becoming a dynasty.
