Sports enthusiasts know that the White House honors the Super Bowl-winning team by inviting it to visit the president. This time, the Philadelphia Eagles appeared in the finale, and according to tradition, they must go to celebrate their victory.
In response, a reporter asked whether the Eagles would go to celebrate the Super Bowl if they were invited this time. After weeks of pondering, the team announced that they would accept the invitation and go to the White House.
Will Eagles Accept the Trump’s Invite?
The Philadelphia Eagles encountered this question. Jalen Hurts, one of the quarterbacks, was the first to whom the reporter asked. At that time, he did not change his championship gear and removed his black eye. He did not say anything reflecting his direct answer.
The same question was asked to the Eagle’s owner, Jeffrey Lurie, even before they did not receive the invite or win. He only claimed that they hope to win the NFL match.
Reason for Delayed Decision
Both did not answer immediately, citing the 2018 incident in which the team won but could not go to the White House. The night before the meeting, then-White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders rejected the visit. There was a controversy at that time, and the Eagles called it a political stunt.
Philadelphia Eagles Accept Visiting the President
The decision came out on Monday that the Eagles will accept the invitation if it comes. The team will visit the White House to meet the president and celebrate their victory. Moreover, NFL Media and ESPN confirmed the decision.
NFL Media reported that the team would be honored to attend the prestigious invitation. Moreover, ESPN reported that the Eagles look forward to the meeting with the president.
Upcoming Event Speculation
According to resources, the visit will be planned in late spring or summer. However, the White House and team officials have yet to officially schedule it. Even then, the Philadelphia Eagles are united in their decision to go to the White House if they receive an invitation. Many people are curious to know how the meeting will be disclosed in the future.
