With the Philadelphia Eagles who won the Super Bowl Lix over Kansas City Chiefs, the celebration has begun.
Whether it will be in the White House – President Donald Trump has not yet announced a formal invitation – will be a “team decision,” said veteran offensive Lineman Lane Johnson.
“I would be honored to go, regardless of who the president is, but we will see,” Johnson said via Sporticos Eric Jackson. “It’s ultimately a team decision. I’m doing what’s best for the team.”
