Eagles Contemplate White House Visit Under Trump

Following their Super Bowl LIX victory against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles are considering a visit to the White House. In 2018, a previous invitation was rescinded by then-President Donald Trump due to players' protests during the national anthem. As Trump is now in his second term, the team faces a similar decision, with players like Lane Johnson emphasizing it will be a 'team decision.' Trump, who attended the Super Bowl, left early as the Eagles dominated the game. The political climate appears more favorable towards Trump within the NFL this term, potentially influencing the team’s decision. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and player Josh Sweat have both expressed a focus on celebrating their victory with a parade in Philadelphia rather than immediately addressing the White House visit.
