Philadelphia Eagles Reportedly Decline Trump’s White House Invitation

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The birds won’t be flying south anytime soon.

The White House can now cancel that order for grease to grease the poles on the White House grounds as the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly declining the offer by President Donald J. Trump to visit.

The Philadelphia Eagles have yet to issue an official statement, but reports emerging Sunday suggest the team has decided against visiting the White House to celebrate their recent Super Bowl victory. The news has sparked a predictable firestorm, with fans and commentators on both sides of the divide weighing in—some outraged, others overjoyed.

According to sources cited in multiple outlets, the Eagles are opting to forego the traditional championship visit with President Trump. While no formal explanation has been provided, the decision aligns with the team’s rocky history with White House invitations during Trump’s tenure.

Back in 2018, a planned visit following their Super Bowl LII win over the New England Patriots unraveled into a public relations mess, culminating in a last-minute cancellation by the team. The episode left lingering tensions, with Trump at the time accusing the Eagles of abandoning their fans over political differences.

This year’s reported snub—if confirmed—would mark another chapter in the ongoing saga of NFL teams navigating the politically charged landscape of White House visits.

The tradition, once a largely apolitical photo-op, has become a lightning rod in recent years, with players and organizations increasingly weighing their stances on national issues.
