The NFL is no stranger to controversy, and this time, it’s Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles caught in the storm. After Elon Musk publicly accused the Eagles of “despising America” for refusing a White House visit, Hurts made a statement that instantly had fans nodding in agreement.
What did Hurts say? Did he call out Musk directly? Did he drop a cryptic response like “We play football, not politics”? Or did he just shrug and say, “Man, I’m just here to win games.” Whatever his words were, they clearly struck a chord, because Eagles fans—and even some non-Eagles fans—are backing him up.
Meanwhile, Musk’s comment has only added fuel to the debate. Some believe the White House visit is a tradition that should be honored, while others think teams have every right to skip it. But let’s be real—Elon Musk wading into an NFL controversy is about as unexpected as a trick play on fourth-and-long. You never see it coming, but somehow, it’s happening.
As for Hurts and the Eagles, their focus is likely still on football. Whether they visit the White House or not, one thing’s for sure—winning games is what really matters. And if Hurts’ response is anything to go by, he’s ready to let his play do the talking.
