The decision by the Eagles marks another instance of a professional sports team opting out of the traditional championship visit to the White House.
While such visits have been a long-standing tradition, they have become a point of controversy in recent years, particularly when involving teams with players outspoken about political issues.
Reactions online were swift, with many social media users criticizing the team for refusing to meet with the president.
Some questioned why taxpayers continue to fund stadiums for professional sports teams when players and organizations openly reject national traditions.

You dumb sonofabitches! TAXPAYERS PAID FOR YOUR STADIUM! You get taxpayer money for your team. The @Chiefs wouldn’t have done this. We WILL remember… pic.twitter.com/ykApor8VOD — Karen Kennedy (@realkarenjean) February 24, 2025
The Eagles’ decision comes after their second Super Bowl victory in franchise history, having defeated the Chiefs in a rematch of the previous year’s championship game.
As the backlash continues, the team has yet to release an official statement regarding the White House visit.
