“A source at the Eagles, who spoke anonymously, stressed that conversations about refusing a visit with President Donald Trump after beating the Kansas City Chiefs have already occurred.”
“A well-placed insider said that recent discussions between the players and the Eagles front office resulted in a ‘massive no’ when asked if they would accept an invitation to the nation’s capital.”
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport went on to report that an Eagles source told him that the team would be honored to visit the White House.
“The #Eagles would be honored to visit The White House, team sources say. It’s one of the aspects of winning they are excited about and look forward to receiving the invitation.”
Amid conflicting reports about their potential visit, Trump told reporters he would invite the Eagles to the White House because he felt they deserved to be there after their win against the Chiefs.
“I thought it was a great performance. They will absolutely be invited. They deserve to be down here, and we hope to see them.”
