Jalen Hurts didn’t take off his eyes black after the Philadelphia Eagles won the NFL Championship and wore a Super Bowl Championship hat and t-shirt. house.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was even asked about his White House visit before the match took place.
Hurts and Lurie didn’t answer the questions head-on, but they’re what all championship teams will be asked for over the next four years, like 2016-2020. The Eagles’ answer is to visit White House President Donald Trump if invited after two weeks of speculation.
NFL Media and ESPN reported on Monday as the Eagles accepted an invitation to the White House. An NFL Media report said the Eagles were “honored” to go. The ESPN report said it was “looking forward to” the team receiving the invitation.
That visit generally occurs in the late spring or summer, but answering the question now will deny further speculation for the Super Bowl champion.
In 2018, the White House cancelled the Eagles trip after the Super Bowl title. Some Eagles players have publicly stated their intention not to visit the White House, a decades-long tradition for championship teams in all sports.
There may still be more to this story as they were with the Eagles seven years ago, but the team has revealed they are planning to go to the White House if invited.
