Philly's Pro Footballists Pay a Visit — Hurts Gotta Bail: Trump Rolls Out the Red Carpet for The Eagles
President Trump welcomes Eagles football team sans Quarterback Hurts to the White House - Trump welcomes Philadelphia Eagles football team to the White House
Hey there! Let's get down to it: ol' Donnie T, aka the Yank Prez, played host to the Philadelphia Eagles football fellas at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The Prez congratulated the dudes for their Super Bowl win back in early flippin' Feb. But guess who was missing in action? None other than the team's superstar, QB Jalen Hurts.
Last week, Hurts left a long, awkward silence after being quizzed about attending the bash at a fancy-schmancy Time Magazine bash. He then skedaddled like a jackrabbit.
Still, the Prez couldn't help but shower Hurts with praise, calling him a "fantastic dude and a phenomenal player." However, rumor has it that Hurts, like some of his teammates, distanced himself from the festivities due to scheduling hassles[1][3][5].
The Eagles took home the Super Bowl trophy with a smokin' 40:22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. It was the first time a sitting US president graced the Super Bowl in New Orleans, and even though Trump cheered on the Chiefs during his first term, he gave his props to the Eagles[5]. Back in 2018, after winning their first Super Bowl, the Eagles gave ol' Donnie T the cold shoulder when he extended an invite to the White House.
