Eagles' visit to White House will be a 'team decision,' says Lane Johnson [View all]
When the Philadelphia Eagles last won the Super Bowl, defeating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52, the team later faced some controversy when some players said they would not visit the White House to celebrate with President Donald Trump.
That was in 2018, after Trump had criticized NFL players who kneeled or raised their fists during the national anthem to protest racial injustice. Some Eagles players reportedly cited that stance as a reason to decline joining Trump at the White House.
As a result, Trump eventually canceled his invitation to the Eagles, saying "the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better" than only some of the team visiting.
Seven years later, Trump is back in the White House and the Eagles have won another Super Bowl championship. So will there be a repeat of tensions and declined invitations?

I thought that's why the slobfather was at the game. So he wouldn't have to see them later.
