The Eagles quarterback was in New York recently for the 2025 TIME100 gala and while he was walking the red carpet, a reporter asked him if he was "planning on visiting the White House," and Hurts gave about as noncommittal of answer that you can give to a question like that.

“The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow,” a statement from the president read. “They disagree with their president because he insists that they proudly stand for the national anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country.

Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley was seen spending time with US president Donald Trump a day before the team’s visit to the White House to celebrate their recent Super Bowl victory.
