Megyn Kelly Goes Off On The Eagles Over Trump White House Visit, Regrets Supporting The Super Bowl Champs

Megyn Kelly blasted the Philadelphia Eagles for seemingly skipping their scheduled White House visit after emerging NFL champions in the 2025 Super Bowl.

Donald Trump notably attended the game, where he supported the Chiefs to win, although they eventually lost 22-40 to the Eagles.

Amid the chaos over The Eagles' alleged decision to skip the traditional visit, a White House source has claimed that an invite has not yet been extended to the Super Bowl champions.

Kelly regrets her decision to cheer on the Philadelphia Eagles to victory against the Kansas City Chiefs during the recent Super Bowl.

Following their victory at the championship game, reports suggest that the Eagles chose to decline to visit the White House as NFL champions usually do.

Kelly took to X to express her dissatisfaction with the Eagles, reacting strongly to a post from a user that cited a report about their snub.

"Wish I had known this before the Super Bowl. I wouldn't have wasted my time rooting for them. Eagles fan? Your team sucks," the X user with the handle "Toxic Cowboy" wrote.

Kelly concurred in her quote, writing, "SAME. GO F YOURSELVES EAGLES."

She further explained that she "got on board" with the Eagles because her husband, author Doug Brunt, "is a fan."

"But F this BS," the TV host added.

Many fans took to the comment section of Kelly's post to share their reaction, as most slammed the Eagles for making things political.

An X user wrote, "Why do these athletes have to make things political anymore? You might not like the guy, but show some respect and be the example to the young kids looking up to you."

Another said, "I wish I could return all the Super Bowl gear I bought my boys. We watched and cheered and cried, and now I feel sick to my stomach. How can I encourage my boys to support such divisive and unpatriotic actions? I'm sad."

"Sorry Eagles. You respect the office. No matter Republican or Democrat. Sad decision that you will regret," one user penned.

Meanwhile, others seemingly supported the Eagle's decision to skip the trip.

"When the NFL had to remove 'End Racism' from the field in order to appease Trump and then Trump still left early to avoid the halftime show I'm not quite sure why anyone would have expected the Eagles to attend," a fan wrote. "Sometimes you have to give respect before you can get it."

Another user said, "Cry me a freaking river. Not everyone has to bow before King Trump and acquiesce to his every whim."

It comes as reports suggest the Eagles' snub resulted from its management's disagreement with Trump's policies.

According to The U.S. Sun, a "well-placed" insider shared that discussions between the players and the team's front office resulted in a "massive no" against going to the White House.

"We focus on the game for now, but if we win the Super Bowl, we wouldn't go to the White House," a member of the ownership group said at the time.

An Eagles player, who spoke anonymously, also shared the same sentiments, claiming that "pretty much everyone" decided they would refuse to meet the President.

"We represent a city and a state that is pushing for equal rights, respect, and values that respect every human being," the Eagles star said. "We won't forget what happened and the criticism we received for taking a stand against racism, and we won't back down from our values of respect, integrity, and equality."

Following The U.S. Sun's report, a White House source slammed the news that an invite was turned down by the Eagles.

According to the Daily Mail, the source who spoke to  Outkick founder Clay Travis revealed that the Eagles haven't turned down an invite as the White House is yet to send out an official invitation to the Super Bowl champions.

While it seems the Eagles haven't rejected Trump's invite this year, they previously declined to see the President during his first term in 2018 following their Super Bowl victory against the New England Patriots.

The issue stemmed from a national anthem controversy after then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt during the song in protest of policing tactics and racism.

Many other athletes, including some Eagles players, joined in by taking a knee. However, critics, including Trump, insisted that it was disrespectful to the flag and military, prompting the NFL to implement policies aimed at discouraging on-field protests.

At the time, the team released a statement saying it disagreed "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."
