“The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow,” a statement from the president read. “They disagree with their president because he insists that they proudly stand for the national anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country.

The Philadelphia Eagles are finally getting their moment to visit the White House on April 28 for winning the Super Bowl after their previous trip was abruptly canceled by President Donald Trump back in 2018.

The last time the Birds were supposed to make the trip down to the White House, the visit was ultimately canceled by President Donald Trump because of player opt-outs. This time around, owner Jeffery Lurie has confirmed that the team “ looks forward ” to the celebration.
