The Philadelphia Eagles will celebrate a Super Bowl victory in the White House for the first time on April 28, but not everyone is happy for that.
'Completely disappointed with the philadelphia eagles for contaminating their absolutely historical victory by accepting the invitation of the criminal orange to visit the White House,' wrote the musician and activist Ricky Davila in X, echoing a feeling felt by many liberals. “Way of selling your souls to the cowards of the devil.”
The 'Orange Criminal' referred to by Davila is obviously President Donald Trump, who previously disabled the Eagles of the usual visit of the White House of the Super Bowl champion in 2018. Philadelphia was leaving his first victory in the Super Bowl, but when Trump learned several players planned to omit the event, he completely canceled.
Now, with only four players on that list of 2018 currently in these Eagles of Super Bowl champions, the team will visit Trump's White House next month.
There had been a mystery about whether the team would accept an invitation, and if the White House had even extended an invitation, but Trump's press secretary, Karoline Levitt, finally clarified it on Tuesday.
“I know there were many false news about an invitation that was not sent or sent, we want to correct the record: we sent an invitation, they accepted with enthusiasm and will see them here on April 28,” Levitt said.

Not everyone is happy to see the Eagles to accept visiting Donald Trump's White
Levitt possibly refers to an February report in the US Sun by Rupert Murdoch, which cited an anonymous source claiming that the team planned to jump the white house of the white house.
Both the Republicans and the Democrats reacted to the erroneous news in the days and weeks that followed, who culminated with the conservative political commentator Megyn Kelly, telling the eagles that “go to yourself” online.
Now, however, with the Eagles accepting Trump's invitation, it is the liberals who are reacting angry on social networks.
“If the @Eagles really go to the White House, the whole team will look like the largest group of genuine losers,” a user wrote. “Nothing that really ruins your image more than shaking hands with a fascist who will drag us to World War II.”
'I am really disappointed with the @Eagles for accepting to go to the White House. It is your choice, I'm still a fan. Only one disappointed.
“It was better when they were not,” added another.
To be clear, many conservatives expressed relief and, in some cases, joy, about the decision.
'Good!' A fan wrote before referring to the reaters champions of the Stanley Cup. “With luck, it is another great meeting, as with the Florida Panthers.”
“Well,” another agreed. 'I was worried about that. If I had supported @eagles and discouraged him, I would feel betrayed beyond the believer. I would never support them again.
“I am so happy,” a mango fan, “Maga Axim,” he wrote in X. “I recover everything he was thinking about them.”
Many Trump supporters were excited to see that the Eagles would be visiting the White House.
The president attended the Eagles victory over the Chiefs in New Orleans, but left the game early to fly back home in Palm Beach, Florida, at an estimated cost of somewhere between $ 8 million and $ 20 million in taxpayers' dollars.
Interestingly, Trump has not congratulated the Eagles yet despite previously toasting the Kansas City chiefs for their last place in the Super Bowl. He has also praised the field marshal of the bosses Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, the last of which “liked” a couple of publications in social networks related to Trump during the campaign.
“I want to thank the beautiful Brittany Mohomes for defending myself so strongly, and the fact that Maga is the greatest and most powerful political movement in the history of our country that now fails,” Trump wrote in his social network of truth before his electoral victory over Kamala Harris in November.
The Hunt family, owner of the Chiefs, also has a history of support for conservative causes.
The owner of the Eagles, Jeffrey Lurie, on the other hand, has a support history of left -wing politicians, such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, although he also previously donated the Republicans George W. Bush and Arlen Specter.
