The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in the 2025 Super Bowl on Sunday. Traditionally, the winner of the game is invited to the White House and honored in a special ceremony hosted by the president. This tradition goes back decades but has garnered some controversy in recent years, including an incident involving the Eagles.

After defeating the New England Patriots in the 2018 Super Bowl 40-33, the Eagles were initially invited to visit the White House by President Donald Trump. He then rescinded the invite after it was revealed that most of the team’s players planned to skip the ceremony.
