Hurts also raised his eyebrows when he attended the Met Gala The following week after missing the White House.
However, the vast majority of the list of Eagles and coache staff attended the White House and celebrated with Trump, as well as the president of the president, Ivanka. These players understood the bearer of Star Saquon Barkley Ballon.
“It’s everyone’s choice,” said McNabb about players who went. “You do not harass someone else’s decision on what they made, it is a decision. It is a personal decision that he made, for both, for Jalen and for Saquon,” said McNabb.
“And once again, after making your visit or anything, you start focusing on the task to be accomplished and see if you can have the opportunity to be invited to the White House.”
When the Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2018, the team decided not to attend the White House. Trump canceled the invitation to welcome Eagles after several players said they would not participate in the visit due to his previous criticism of the national anthem demonstrations.
The Los Angeles Dodgers visited the White House several weeks before the Eagles, to commemorate their title World Series. Mookie Betts, who jumped in 2019 with the Boston Red Sox, attended this year.
