Donald Trump At Super Bowl: US President Welcomes Philadelphia Eagles To White House
President Donald Trump welcomed the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House on April 28, 2025, to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. This was the team's first visit since a planned event in 2018 was cancelled. Star running back Saquon Barkley attended and flew with Trump on Marine One, while key players Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and Devonta Smith opted not to attend, prompting discussions about the relationship between sports and politics. Barkley defended his choice to be present, urging critics to separate political issues from sports celebrations. During the event, Trump praised the Eagles' achievements and acknowledged their owner, Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman, and coach Nick Sirianni, noting that the team had overcome doubts to win the championship.
