The Philadelphia Eagles Have Made Up Their Mind on Trump’s White House Invitation – Yea or Nah?

The Philadelphia Eagles have decided whether or not they will accept President Donald Trump's invitation to the White House.

After rumors and speculation, the Super Bowl champs have officially accepted Trump's invite.

On March 11 (Tuesday), White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the news during a press briefing.

"I know there was a lot of fake news about an invitation that wasn’t sent or was sent," she said.

"We want to correct the record: We sent an invitation. They enthusiastically accepted, and you will see them here on April 28," Leavitt added.

It has been a long-standing tradition for championship-winning teams to attend a ceremony at the White House.

The intrigue regarding their decision is due to the team not visiting the White House during Trump's first term following their Super Bowl LIII victory.

President Trump revoked their invitation at the last minute after discovering several players planned not to attend out of protest.

Several Eagles players, led by former safety Malcolm Jenkins, declined Trump's invitation to shine a light on social injustice.

Trump was on hand at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9. The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, winning Super Bowl LIX, earning them their second Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Only one of the four Super Bowl-winning teams visited the White House during Trump's first term: the New England Patriots in 2017.
