Hurts Skips Trump White House Visit: Eagles QB Prioritizes Values Over Politics
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts declined the White House’s invitation to celebrate their Super Bowl victory, citing scheduling conflicts. The White House confirmed the majority of the team attended the event. Hurts’ decision follows a previous instance in 2018 where a significant portion of the Super Bowl-winning Eagles team declined a White House visit under President Trump. While Hurts has generally avoided overt political statements, his absence is likely to be interpreted by some as a political act.
