For The Win
OK. There’s been a bit of a stir recently over the Philadelphia Eagles potentially declining their invitation to the White House to visit with Donald Trump, a tradition over the years for the Super Bowl-winning team to meet with the United States president (although the Eagles didn’t go the last time they won).
There’s been a lot of confusion over a report that’s a few weeks old that popped up recently, so let’s untangle all of that and help you out.
First: A report from The Sun that was updated last on February 9, 2025 — that’s a whole two weeks ago — resurfaced a couple of days ago. The report said a “well-placed insider” said the Eagles wouldn’t accept an invitation.
Second: there’s been no update since then. But on Monday, there’s a very important thing to note: per Front Office Sports, there was no invitation yet to decline. What’s more, “A source close to the NFL foresees the Eagles ‘accepting’ a Trump invite once it’s made.”
Let’s translate that for you: this is all nothing about nothing yet. The White House hasn’t invited them yet, the Eagles haven’t made an official call either way, and that’s that.
As you were.
