The Eagles of Philadelphia did not visit the White House of Donald Trump after winning the Super Bowl LII in February 2018.
But after the victory of the Super Bowl on Sunday on the Chiefs of Kansas City, the birds could flock to Trump’s White House during this year.
“I would be honored to go there, it doesn’t matter who the president is, but we will see,” said team captain and the right tackle Lane Johnson, as quoted by Sporto. “It is ultimately a team decision. I will do what is best for the team.
The president attended the Eagles victory over the Chiefs on Sunday in New Orleans, but left the match early to return home in Palm Beach, Florida, at an estimated cost at a cost of $ 8 million and $ 20 million in taxpayers’ dollars.
Dailymail.com contacted the White House spokesperson to see if Trump plans to invite the Eagles to the White House.
The history of the president with the NFL was at the very least complicated.

He continued the League as the owner of the generals of the New Jersey of the USFL in the 1980s in an effort sentenced to acquire a franchise from the NFL, according to the football of the successful author Jeff Pearlman for a dollar. In the end, the commissioner of the time, the commissioner of the NFL, Pete Rozelle in 1984, that he would never be “franchise owner”.
Before becoming president, he was overbidding for the Buffalo Bills, and after his electoral victory in 2016, Trump criticized Protestant players to kneel during the national anthem. (Interesting fact, Trump sat during the anthem when he had a USFL team, according to Pearlman’s sources)
It was in spring 2018 that Trump disinpitated the Eagles of the traditional white house ceremony that June in the middle of rumors, several players planned to boycott the event.
“The Philadelphia Eagles football team was invited to the White House,” said Trump on Twitter at the time. “Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come and we canceled the event.”
Trump then linked the question to the NFL Protestant players against the brutality of the racist police by kneeling during the anthem. He also reprimanded those who stayed in the changing rooms during the star banner, as authorized by the rules of the League /
“Staying in the locker room for the game of our national anthem is as disrespectful towards our country as kneeling,” he added. ‘Sorry!’
Only a handful of Eagles players remain in Philadelphia of this Super Bowl winning team: Johnson, the defensive winger Brandon Graham, the Kicker Jake Elliott and the Long Vivaneau Rick Lovato.
The owner of the Eagles, Jeffrey Lurie, bypassed the controversy before the victory of the Super Bowl on Sunday when asked if his team would visit the White House in the event of a victory on the chiefs.
“I just want to win on Sunday,” said Lurie.
For what it is worth, Lurie has a record for support for left -wing politicians, like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, although he is previously Republicans George W. Bush and Arlen Specter.

The New York Times published a Lurie recording at a private meeting in October 2018 criticizing Trump.
“Another fact that I want to throw there: many (Americans of NFL owners) have no interest in supporting President Trump,” he said. “Yes, there are. There are also players who do it too. But this is not where you brandish a group of people because they have assets in a sport that we love, supporting what many of us perceive as, you know, a disastrous presidency.
Curiously, Trump has not congratulated the Eagles since their victory of the Super Bowl despite the public fence of the Chiefs of Kansas City on social networks after their recent victory in the AFC championship. He also congratulated the quarter-Arrière of the Chiefs Patrick Mahomes and his wife, the latter, the latter whose “loved” a pair of publications on social networks linked to Trump during the campaign.
“ I want to thank the beautiful Brittany Mahomes for having so strongly defended me, and the fact that Maga is the biggest and most powerful political movement in the history of our country now failing, ” wrote Trump on His social network of truth before his electoral victory over Kamala Harris in November.
Things were not always so pink between Trump and the chefs.
Years earlier, after the heads of Mahomas beat the 49ers of San Francisco in the Super Bowl Liv, Trump congratulated the team of the “Grand State of Kansas”.
The chiefs play in Kansas City, Missouri, and not at Kansas City, Kansas, a small town a few kilometers through the state border.
