Eagles DE Chris Long on potential White House visit: Are you kidding me?

Chris Long skipped the Super Bowl champion’s traditional White House visit last year as a member of the Patriots, and he has no plans to stop by 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as a member of the Eagles this year, either.

Should the Eagles beat the Patriots on Sunday in Super Bowl 52, Long said he would not accept an invitation to the White House.

"No, I’m not going to the White House. Are you kidding me?," the Eagles defensive end told Barstool Sports’ "Pardon My Take" podcast Monday.

We can’t blame Barstool for asking the question, but Long’s answer could have been anticipated. He’s clearly not a fan of President Donald Trump, evidenced by his decision not to accompany his Patriots teammates last year, as well as his opposition to Trump’s stance on players protesting during the national anthem.
