If the Chiefs do celebrate with Trump this year, they will be the second team to do so along with the Eagles.

Philadelphia beat the Chiefs 40-22 in this year鈥檚 Super Bowl and after social media speculation suggesting the team would refuse the traditional visit, they officially accepted an invitation to visit the White House earlier this month.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Eagles鈥� visit would happen on April 28.

Back in 2018, Philadelphia decided not to celebrate the victory with Trump, who was in his first term in office at the time.
