As the New York Times points out:
A month after Jeffrey Lurie’s leaked comments about President Trump cast doubt on whether the Super Bowl-champion Eagles would visit the White House, the team appears to have committed to a trip, which is scheduled for June 5.
While the team has yet to make an announcement, Lindsay Walters, a White House deputy press secretary, confirmed the visit in an email.
“President Trump looks forward to welcoming the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House on June 5 to celebrate their Super Bowl LII win,” she said.
The trip, which is a tradition for Super Bowl-winning teams, became a hot topic when the New York Times in April detailed a meeting in which NFL owners expressed their concerns about Mr. Trump’s presidency, which Mr. Lurie called “disastrous.”
