Ex-NFL star implores Eagles to celebrate title at White House, says it would be 'ludicrous' not to

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley discusses his journey to becoming a Super Bowl champion and what's next.

The Philadelphia Eagles possibly going to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX win with President Donald Trump is still up in the air.

Trump said Tuesday the White House would send an invitation to the Super Bowl-winning team very soon. However, as rumors swirled about the possibility of the Eagles declining the invite, former NFL star Adam "Pacman" Jones wondered why the team would not go.

The Eagles did not go after winning the Super Bowl title over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. At the time, tensions between NFL players and Trump were at a fever pitch. The president attended Super Bowl LIX and did not receive any outward criticism from any player.

"There’s a lot of people that have jobs who don’t like their CEO but go to work every day," Jones told TMZ Sports. "There’s a lot of people who don’t agree with how their preacher, or whoever they’re going to read (God’s) message from, with what he does. So, I think it’s kind of ludicrous that you win the championship and don’t want to go to the f---ing White House."
