The Philadelphia Eagles visited the White House on Monday to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX championship alongside President Donald Trump. But the absence of several players at the gathering, including Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts, has caused a stir online.
A “schedule conflict” reportedly kept Hurts from attending, according to a White House official.
Ahead of the team’s visit, the star athlete dodged answering whether he would be joining the Eagles on Monday, simply replying “umm” to a reporter who asked him at the Time magazine gala last week.
