The first time Trump was in office, the Eagles did not accept the invitation when they won Super Bowl LII in 2018. That year, President Trump rescinded the team's invitation to visit at the last minute as some players planned to boycott the event. After the Eagles declined, no other NFL team has gone to the White House after winning the Super Bowl.

During his first term in office, Trump abruptly disinvited the Eagles on the eve of their planned trip in 2018.

Jalen Hurts hadn't even taken off his eye black, and still had his Super Bowl championship hat and T-shirt on after the Philadelphia Eagles had won the NFL championship, when he was asked by a reporter if the Eagles planned to visit the White House.

Despite planning to send a contingency of players and personnel, the White House rescinded the invitation the night before the visit was scheduled. While individual players will be allowed to make their own decisions once again, the Eagles will be making the trek to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Picture this: an underdog football team from Philly, hoisting the Lombardi Trophy twice in seven years, their journey as gritty as a cheesesteak smothered in Whiz.
