President Donald Trump will become the first sitting U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl, and the stars playing in the game are aware of his attendance.
Trump's expected presence sparked an enthusiastic reaction among multiple Kansas City Chiefs players, including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, and even Gracie Hunt, the daughter of the team's owner.
However, one star on the opposing Philadelphia Eagles gave a more lukewarm answer about Trump's attendance.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was asked how he feels about the president attending the game while talking to reporters Tuesday.
"He's welcome to do what he wants," Hurts said.
When Hurts was asked a follow-up question about whether Trump being there would put more pressure on him, the quarterback responded, "No." (snip)
Hurts called Obama an "all-time leader" in October.

If he, GOD forbid, los4s this game, he will be run out of Philly.
How can one have a football game, even a superbowl, where one can only wish both teams lose. I am so glad I gave up the NFL years ago and now enjoy college games. However, with NIL, salaries and transfer portal, even college is heading to obscurity. I’ll take it year-by-year....for now.
YES!!!
He’s butthurt because Trump congratulated the Chiefs for their conference championship win but not the Elgses.
The Eagles just brought the Trump Curse down upon themselves. Stupid!
GO BIRDS!, and don’t think I’ve forgotten your little dual loyalty smear. You still owe me an apology.
Dave your smart ass comments for someone else.
Go and represent the NFC! Fly Eagles Fly!
He will either be the best QB in Eagles history, or the ultimate choker tonight.
Jalen who?
Trump I know.
Mighty big of this no name to give him permission.
Sheesh, sports figures have as over inflated egos and sense of self-importance as Hollywood.
The entire country wants badly to root for the Eagles tomorrow, but the players and their fans make it so difficult.
What’s the Trump Curse?
A lot of them like Trump.
And they are only important past football if one lets them be in their head.
I don’t let them be.
I like football. I LOVE watching football.
That being said, I missed THREE seasons during the kneeling nonsense and Bud light gay marriage commericals.
They have lowered the tnoe and still show (even if they don’t mean it) a great deal of respect for our military.
My viewership isn’t guaranteed..but I did enjoy the past season.
Except when Taylor Swift was shown!!
And if it were a Democratic president like Obama, then it wouldn’t even be a question
Every NFL team has a few simpletons like Hurts. Who cares. We/Won are my pronouns and I love the fact that retards like Hurts have to deal with that.
Cousins (once removed) from the Schitt family.
Hurts is a known obama zombie
Perfectly appropriate answer. If he’s not a Trump supporter, which is fine by the way. Then he doesn’t need to show immense excitement about him being at the game. We can’t condemn the Left for intolerance of we are not willing to show tolerance to those we have differences with. He’s just expressing an opinion.
