Donald Trump welcomes Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles to White House but QB Jalen Hurts skips event
The Philadelphia Eagles visited the White House to celebrate winning Super Bowl LIX; Jalen Hurts among players to miss the event with president Donald Trump; Eagles beat Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 to win the Super Bowl
The Eagles declined a visit to the White House when they won in 2018 but attended the event this year, following their 40-22 victory over Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
Hurts and other players cited scheduling conflicts as the reasons for their absences, according to a White House official who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity
Trump called Hurts a “terrific guy and terrific player” who turned in “one stellar performance after another” in helping the Eagles to a 14-3 regular season and their Super Bowl run.
“The Eagles have turned out to be an incredible team, an incredible group,” Trump said.
In his first term, Trump invited and then cancelled a celebration for the Eagles, instead throwing his own brief “Celebration of America” after it became clear most players weren’t going to show up
Asked by a reporter on the red carpet of the Time magazine gala last week whether he would take part in the White House visit, Hurts responded with an awkward “um” and long silence before walking away.
