ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter said the Philadelphia Eagles were in fact looking forward to visiting the White House following the team’s Super Bowl victory against the Kansas City Chiefs.
On Monday, Schefter went viral when he appeared to shut down rumors and reports floating around on social media all weekend claiming the Eagles had declined an invite to attend a ceremony at the White House from President Donald Trump.
“To those wondering: Eagles sources say the team is planning on visiting the White House this off-season and looks forward to receiving its invitation,” Schefter posted on <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1894156616246645034">X</a>, making it clear an invitation hasn’t even gone out yet from the Trump White House.
The first report surfaced about the rumor with a headline in the <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/sport/13471064/philadelphia-eagles-white-house-super-bowl-trump-snub/?utm_source=native_share&amp;utm_medium=sharebar_native&amp;utm_campaign=sharebaramp">Sun</a> that read, “SUPER SNUB Philadelphia Eagles make major decision over White House invitation post Super Bowl win following past Donald Trump snub.”

The article was then shared by the account called <a href="https://x.com/PHLEaglesNation/status/1893805067460894870">Philadelphia Eagles Nation</a> with a post that read, “According to ‘a well-placed insider,’ discussions between #Eagles players and their front office resulted in a ‘massive no’ when asked if they would accept an invitation to the White House to honor their Super Bowl Victory, per @TheSun.”
The account later shared that the Sun report was &#8220;untrue,&#8221; according to Schefter, and made another post from NFL insider Ian Rappaport that read, “The #Eagles would be honored to visit The White House, team sources say after conversations today. It’s one of the aspects of winning they are excited about and look forward to receiving the invitation.”
That same Eagles account on X later shared another post from NBCSPhilly that read, “The Eagles are planning to visit the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory this offseason if invited, a source confirms. The Eagles did not visit after winning Super Bowl LII; that invitation was technically rescinded the night before.”
In 2018, the Eagles beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII and did not make the trip to the White House due to Trump’s stance that players should stand for the national anthem.
In a <a href="https://6abc.com/white-house-philadelphia-eagles-superbowl-champions-president-trump/3561204/">statement from Trump</a> at the time, he said, “The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow. They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country.”
&#8220;The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better,” he added.
