Among the many things that have been asked of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni after Super Bowl 2025 is whether his team will visit the White House. His answer is that fans are convinced that there is no team trip to Washington DC in the making.
The Eagles are now the first team to win a professional sports championship during the second presidential term of Donald Trump, with a visit to the White House Commonplace in American Sports.
That is, it was common until Trump took office for the first time in 2017, when many who did not agree with him did not want to rub the president politically.
This included the Eagles in 2018, where Trump canceled their visit the day before it had to take place after Philadelphia had informed the White House that a smaller delegation of players was set to be present.
Trump's rhetoric has not changed for his second Go-Round in the Oval Office, although the Eagles have a new head coach in Sirianni. His answer about the plans of the Eagles to go to the White House on Sunday evening was at his best without obligation.
“I don't even know. We will see while we are going, “said Sirianni. 'We will enjoy it tonight, we will enjoy it tomorrow, we enjoy it the next day. We don't have to get ready for another game. So can't wait to celebrate this with the boys and celebrate this with my family. Many people are needed to be in this place. I love this team. I love these guys. '
NFL fans are convinced that the Philadelphia Eagles will no longer go to the White House this year
The Eagles had no ceremony the last time Trump was in office for their last title
Sirianni will probably make the decision whether the Eagles are bicking their trend and going south to meet Trump.
Trump was in New Orleans in New Orleans on Sunday evening and received a more favorable reaction from the crowd compared to Taylor Swift.
Seven years ago, Trump based the Eagles for their decision not to let the entire schedule of the team come to the White House.
'The Philadelphia Eagles cannot come to the White House with their entire team to be celebrated tomorrow. They do not agree with their president because he is proud of the national anthem, in the heart, in honor of the great men and women of our army and the people of our country, 'read a Trump statement .
'The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans who are planning to attend the event deserve better. These fans are still invited to the White House to be part of a different type of ceremony – one that will honor our big country, will pay tribute to the heroes fighting to protect it and play the national anthem loud and proud. I will be there at 3 p.m. with the American marine band and the American army cleaning to celebrate America. '
The Eagles answered with their own statement, knowing that their decision would split their fan base.
'It was incredibly exciting to celebrate our first super bowl championship. Looking at the entire Eagles community has been an inspiration. We are really grateful for all the support we have received and we look forward to continuing our preparations for the 2018 season, 'an Eagles statement when reading.
The Eagles are not the first team to win a championship in the second term of Trump that usually coincides with a visit from the White House when the Ohio State football team won a title in the Night of Trump's second inauguration.
