Hurts picked up a few eyebrows when he was asked on Thursday evening 100 gala if he would join his teammates in the White House.
Super Bowl MVP replied an awkward “UM” before he moved away from the interview.
Before the visit, the owner of Eagles, Jeffrey Lurie, disregarded the policy of visiting the White House of Trump and said that it was from individual players if they wanted to take part in the ceremony.
“Our culture is optional,” Lurie said at the beginning of this month. “If you want to enjoy it, come and we will have fun. And if you don’t do it, this is a completely optional thing.”
Lurie is considered one of the more liberal owners in the league and criticized Trump.
For years he was a constant donor of democrats. He gave $ 2,700 Hillary Clinton in 2015 and donated Barack Obama donation in 2008.
Recently, his donations went to two PAC – Gridiron PAC, NFL Political Committee and our future United, which was launched in 2020 to communicate with youthful progressive voters In order to reverse the Senate places for Democrats.
Monday’s ceremony is a transformation of a visit that never happened in 2018.
Eagles in particular did not visit the White House this year after winning in Super Bowl, the first in the history of franchise. Trump opened the invitation of the team After several players talked about him critically and suggested that they would skip the visit.
