There were rumors the Eagles would not attend
Despite rumors that the Philadelphia Eagles would not attend the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he will extend the invite.
The Birds skipped out on attending when they won back in 2018, but a club source told OutKick on Monday that the team would in fact go this year. Trump confirmed the invite while talking with reporters.
"They will be [invited]. We haven't yet, but we will be," Trump said on Tuesday. "I thought it was a great performance by them. Absolutely, they'll be extended an invitiation. We'll do it right away, we'll do it some time today. They deserve to be down here, and we hope to see them."

Trump, in attendance for the game, predicted that the Kansas City Chiefs would win for the third straight time but it was a Philadelphia beat down from the jump; they earned a 40-22 victory over Kansas City to put a hold on their dynasty.
