The Philadelphia Eagles do plan on visiting the White House to celebrate their second Super Bowl victory, if and when they receive an invitation, according to multiple reports.
Both NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter simultaneously reported the Eagles would be 'honored' to visit the Trump White House.
'It’s one of the aspects of winning they are excited about and look forward to receiving the invitation,' Rapoport wrote on X.

There had been speculation online the team would skip a meeting with President Donald Trump, with a number of conservatives including Megyn Kelly mistakenly slamming the Eagles for the rumored decision.
Now, though, the Eagles appear headed to the Trump White House for the first time, despite previously winning the Lombardi Trophy during his first term in 2018. Responding to rumors of a potential player boycott at the time, Trump disinvited the team from the customary White House visit amid his war with the NFL over players protesting during the national anthem.
'The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow,' read a 2018 Trump statement.

“Are they going to dig up Glenn Frey?”
He could care less about Swift? He’s mentioned her many times.
The NFL? IF they support the military, it's only because of the recruiting ads on TV. Just like Cheetos or detergent.

And I agree with him 100%.
I thought they were talking about Don henley and crew.
Are they gonna play “Hotel California”?
Oh, you meant the football team, not THE Eagles
I thought that, too. But I Don Henley wouldn’t be caught dead anywhere near Trump.
He didn’t back them. The interviewer asked who President Trump thought would win. He said KC. Many people thought KC would win, so I was not a stretch.
Could Saquon hurdle PDJT?
So?
If I was a fan of a team I would not stop rooting for them because one of their starters had a leftist slag for a GF.
What is it that makes sports fans so irrational?
Racist blacks ruin everything.

They froze him in Carbonite and installed him in Winslow, Arizona.
Really. So much cooler than boring old graves.
I have recently started watching college football - UGA - and upon seeing some of the outstanding players, I watched the NFL draft for the first time last year, and the past couple of years, I have followed the draft to see where certain player go. The Eagles drafted immense defensive talent from UGA, and it has paid off in their defense. Their D-line is awesome and frightening.
