Eagles Celebrate Super Bowl Win at White House, Jalen Hurts Absent

President Donald Trump hosted the 2025 Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles at the White House, celebrating their NFL championship win with team members, coaches, and fans. Notably absent was quarterback Jalen Hurts, who, along with several other players, cited scheduling conflicts for missing the event. The attendance and participation of Eagles running back Saquon Barkley drew attention after he played golf with Trump and traveled with him on Air Force One, leading to both praise from the president and criticism on social media. Barkley defended his participation by emphasizing respect for the office of the presidency and noted he has also golfed with former President Obama. The event included speeches from Trump, recognition of various team members, and a celebratory atmosphere on the White House lawn. The Eagles' visit occurred in a politically charged context, as Philadelphia is a predominantly Democratic city and the visit coincided with major immigration policy announcements at the White House.
