The Philadelphia Eagles have made an official decision about visiting the White House after winning the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Despite earlier reports suggesting a possible snub, they confirmed that they would be happy to accept an invitation to the White House if it is offered.
There was a lot of talk about whether the Philadelphia Eagles would visit the White House after winning the Super Bowl. At first, a report said they would say “no” to the invitation.
But later, sources close to the team said that no official invite had been sent yet. ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed that the Eagles will visit the White House once they receive an invitation.
White House source: the Philadelphia Eagles have not rejected a White House invite. The reports that have gone viral on social media are fake news. The White House has not even sent the official invite to the Eagles yet.

The controversy surrounding the Eagles’ decision is not new. In 2018, following their first Super Bowl win, the team declined an invitation to the White House due to a national anthem dispute.
This time, however, the Eagles have made it clear that they are open to the opportunity to visit the executive mansion.

The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t visit the White House, but that’s because they didn’t get an invitation yet. Some news reports said the team turned it down after their Super Bowl win, which made people angry. One of them was American reporter Megyn Kelly.
For those of you who trusted them, shame on you.
