Despite a loss in February’s Super Bowl 59 to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Kansas City Chiefs will still take a trip to the White House sometime in the near future. President Donald Trump invited the Chiefs’ 2019 roster to the most famous house in the United States on Monday, according to MySportsUpdate’s Ari Meirov and Outkick. The invitation was extended after Kansas City couldn’t visit after their win in Super Bowl LIV due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“President Donald Trump said today that he plans to invite the #Chiefs to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIV victory over the 49ers from February 2020—a visit that never happened due to the COVID pandemic, which hit the country a month later,” posted Meirov on the social media platform.
The invitation did come out of the blue, but it is nonetheless a welcome one for Kansas City. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world for over a year, so being to make a visit to the White House is likely one that excites much of the Chiefs’ 2019 roster. It’s a trip that stars such as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have already made, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see them there once again. Hopefully, their trip will fall during the offseason, which still has a few more months. Likely after the draft, since many of the key decision makers on the team are still prepping for the annual event that takes place in late April.
