The Philadelphia Eagles possibly going or not going to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX win with President Donald Trump has had people from both sides in an uproar.
As ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported, the Eagles, winners of their second Super Bowl in seven years after beating the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this month, would love to visit Trump.
Trump made it clear on Tuesday that the White House would soon send an invitation to the Super Bowl-winning team.
As rumors swirled online about the possibility of the Eagles declining the invite, former NFL star Adam “Pacman” Jones would drop his strong opinion on the matter.
“There’s a lot of people that have jobs who don’t like their CEO but go to work every day,” Jones told TMZ Sports.
“There’s a lot of people who don’t agree with how their preacher, or whoever they’re going to read (God’s) message from, with what he does. So, I think it’s kind of ludicrous that you win the championship and don’t want to go to the f—ing White House.”
The Philadelphia Eagles have won two Super Bowls, but this would be their first time at the White House.
The Eagles did not go after winning the Super Bowl title over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in 2018.
Eagles captain Lane Johnson said after the team’s victory that the decision to go would be up to a player vote.
“I’d be honored to go, regardless of who the president is, but we’ll see,” Johnson said via Sportico. “It’s ultimately a team decision. I’ll do what’s best for the team.”
