Eagles head coach reveals how he really feels about White House visit

There had been great speculation that the Philadelphia Eagles could skip the customary visit to the White House this year with Donald Trump in office.

Yet, despite the rumors swirling around, the Eagles accepted an invitation from the president to celebrate their Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs

And, following the franchise’s past tumultuous relationship with the current Commander-in-Chief, head coach Nick Sirianni has revealed how he feels about the upcoming trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on April 28.

I’m really excited to go, yeah. What an honor. What an honor to be able to go to the White House,’ he said this week, via Fox news.

‘Teams that have been able to win championships have been doing that for a long time, and I’m really honored to go and really excited to go.’

Following their victory – a resounding 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs – there had been speculation that the Eagles would turn down the traditional audience with the president at the White House.
