According to a report from The U.S. Sun, discussions among Eagles team members about skipping a visit with President Donald Trump had already taken place.
“A source at the Eagles, who spoke anonymously, stressed that conversations about refusing a visit with President Donald Trump after beating the Kansas City Chiefs have already occurred,” the outlet reported.
The source also stated that the decision was a firm rejection of the invitation.
Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly weighed in on the matter, posting her reaction on X. “GO F YOURSELVES EAGLES!” she wrote in response to the news.

The decision by the Eagles marks another instance of a professional sports team opting out of the traditional championship visit to the White House.
While such visits have been a long-standing tradition, they have become a point of controversy in recent years, particularly when involving teams with players outspoken about political issues.
Reactions online were swift, with many social media users criticizing the team for refusing to meet with the president.
Some questioned why taxpayers continue to fund stadiums for professional sports teams when players and organizations openly reject national traditions.

You get taxpayer money for your team.
The @Chiefs wouldn’t have done this.
