The Philadelphia Eagles’ big Super Bowl 59 win against the Kansas City Chiefs got everyone talking about whether the team would visit the White House. However, there was a lot of confusion and false reports about their invitation, so it was mandatory to provide a proper clarification.
Some people even thought the Eagles had turned it down, causing a lot of drama online. But then, sources close to the team said no official invitation had been sent yet.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed that the Eagles would visit the White House once they get the invite. The Super Bowl champions made it clear that if they were invited, they would gladly go and meet President Donald Trump.
President Trump assured reporters at the White House on Tuesday that the Eagles would receive an invitation. He even told one of his staff members to make sure the invitation goes out soon.

He said, “They will be. We haven’t yet, but we will be. I thought it was a great performance by them. Absolutely, they’ll be extended an invitation, would you do that right away? We’ll do it right away, we’re gonna do it some time today. They deserve to be down here, and we hope to see them.”
Donald Trump chooses Chiefs over Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl
It might surprise some people to learn which team Donald Trump supported during the Super Bowl. Those who know are a bit curious to see how he will react when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the White House as during the NFL Final, Trump was all in for the Chiefs.
Trump’s history with the Eagles isn’t the best. During his time as president from 2017 to 2021, he often criticized the team and its players. A memorable moment was in 2018 when Trump disinvited the Eagles from visiting the White House because some players refused to go due to concerns over racial injustice.
I really hope the rumors are true that the Eagles are going to turn down the invitation to visit Donald Trump after he gaslit the team in 2018 for kneeling to the national anthem when they didn’t and disinvited them from the visiting White House. pic.twitter.com/MT0NgLIV5k

However, no matter what happened in the past, Trump is now showing a new side. As a president, he respects winners, and his decision to invite the Super Bowl champions to the White House is both surprising and commendable.
