The team spokesman confirmed to CNN on Tuesday, saying that the Philadelphia Eagles formally accepted the invitation to go to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl Leaks win.
The spokesman added that the team is now “working on a date and supply schedule” around Washington DC’s visit.
The announcement came weeks after CNN reports that after the speculation of social media, the Eagles would be “honored to visit the White House” that the team would refuse the traditional visit. At that time, the invitation was not extended to the team.
The Eagles defeated Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans last month claiming the second super bowel of the franchise in winning 40-22.
When the team won their first championship in 2018, Eagles decided not to win with President Donald Trump, who was in its first term.
The decision gave rise to a storm of criticism by Trump, who accused the eagles of the “Star Spanged Banner” this year of dishonesting the national anthem in other ways before the entire team was added and adding the entire team.
Last year, the Golden State Warriors chose not to visit Trump in the White House after winning the NBA Championship of 2016-17, with Trump Say on social media That the invitation was terminated.
The decision to visit the White House during the term of former president Joe Biden has diminished. Biden played the hosts of several championship teams and generally did not include any scrutiny with the squad that did not travel.
Trump’s attendance at the Super Bowl Leaks made him the first US president to attend the NFL season’s biggest game.
Eagles’ aggressive lineman Lane Johnson Told Sportsko The team’s decision to visit the White House last month will be the team’s vote.
“I have the honor of who is the president, but we will see. This is the team’s decision. Johnson said,” I will do good work for the team. ”
