Megin Kelly has taken root in the Philadelphia Eagles to defeat Kansas City chief during the latest Super Bowl, but reports showing the NFL champions skip a traditional White House visit have been decided. I regret it.
Kelly responded to an X-post Sunday from a user who cited a report that said the Eagles had refused an invitation to the White House to meet President Trump.
“I wish I had known this before the Super Bowl. I wouldn't have wasted time cheering on them. An Eagles fan? X-user with the handle “Toxic Cowboy” writes.
Kelly agrees and writes: I'm going to the Eagles. ”
The SiriusXM host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” writes that her husband Doug Brunt was “a fan” and that she supported the Eagles because she was “onboard.”
“But these bs,” Kelly added.
The post is being asked for comment from the Eagles and the White House.
Eagles sauce I told the US sun Over the weekend, the team will rub their invitations to the White House.
The newspaper cited “Adequately placed insiders.” He said the recent debate between players and the front office has brought about a “massive no” on the question of whether the team will accept an invitation from Trump this time.
“We're focusing on the game for now, but if we win the Super Bowl, we won't go to the White House,” US Sun quoted as saying one of the team's owners.
The current player, who remains anonymous, told the publication he determined that “almost everyone” would refuse Trump's invitation.
“We represent cities and nations that promote equal rights, respect and values to respect all people,” the Eagles star told the US Sun.
“We will not forget what happened and the criticism we received for opposing racism. We will not retreat from the value of respect, integrity and equality.”
In 2018, during Trump's first term, the Eagles, who had just lost their Super Bowl victory over New England patriots, declined an invitation from the White House.
At the time, the team agreed with the President because they “please honor the great men and women of our military and the people of our country, claiming that they proudly hold their hands in their hearts. I issued a statement saying it didn't do that.”
The Anthem controversy comes from a 2016 incident in which 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeled during a song in protest against policing tactics and racism.
Many athletes joined the protest, but critics, including Trump, claim it was disrespectful to the flag and the military, urging the NFL to implement policies aimed at blocking protests on the field did.
Signed after the 2016 season, Kaepernick later accused him of owing blackballs, leading to a settlement with the NFL in 2019, but effectively left his football career behind.
Jeffrey Lurie, owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, is known for his liberal political tendencies and support for Democratic candidates and progressive causes.
He donated to Democratic politicians, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, and spoke about issues of social justice, such as racial equality, LGBTQ rights and criminal justice reform.
Lurie also allows the Eagles organization to be active in social justice initiatives and supports players engaged in activism, including those who protested during the national anthem.
Unlike Trump and other NFL owners in line with conservative politics, Lurie positioned himself as a progressive voice in the league, but he has made political views compared to other owners. It tends to be measured and not overly publicized.
His political stance has sometimes led to controversy, especially in leagues where many owners are conservatively leaning, but he remains immovable in his support for social change and player behaviorism.
