Chiefs coach Andy Reid and his players were filmed getting on a team bus to the airport
The Chiefs have won the Super Bowl three times in the past five years. In 2023, they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, first lady Jill Biden’s favorite football team. She grew up near Philadelphia and attended the game.
Kansas City also defeated San Francisco to claim the 2020 Super Bowl title.
The Chiefs shared on social media early Friday that ‘we’re celebrating our back-to-back championship seasons and victory in Super Bowl LVIII at the White House.’
Kicker Harrison Butker, who made headlines by assailing some of Biden’s policies during a commencement speech earlier this month, is expected to accompany his teammates to the White House. Butker recently defended his comments, saying he had no regrets about expressing his beliefs.
In the May 16 speech at Benedictine College, a private Catholic liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, Butker congratulated the women who were receiving degrees and said most of them were probably more excited about getting married and having children.
