Eagles' White House Visit Highlights Team's Political Divide

News summary

The Philadelphia Eagles' recent White House visit, held to celebrate their Super Bowl victory, was marked by the absence of several key players, including Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith, which drew attention from fans and media alike. While owner Jeffrey Lurie, head coach Nick Sirianni, and running back Saquon Barkley attended and expressed respect for the tradition and the office of the presidency, the event quickly became a flashpoint for political debate both within the team and among fans. Barkley defended his participation, emphasizing his respect for the office regardless of the president, while Hurts' absence was attributed to a scheduling conflict. Online reactions highlighted disappointment and concern about a perceived split within the team, with some fans criticizing both those who attended and those who did not. President Trump addressed the absences with mostly positive remarks about the missing players. Overall, the visit revealed how even routine championship celebrations can reflect broader social and political divides.
