Rumors are swirling around the NFL this week, with whispers that the Seattle Seahawks might have declined an invitation to the White House. Fresh off a stellar playoff campaign, the Seahawks took down heavyweights like the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and New England Patriots.
The defense, orchestrated by Mike Macdonald, shone brightly in the Super Bowl, forcing Drake Maye into three critical turnovers. On the offensive side, Kenneth Walker III was the star of the show, earning Super Bowl MVP honors with a remarkable 161 yards from scrimmage.
Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon summed up the team’s mindset perfectly: “When you have a game plan, you know what you are going to do. You know how you are going to execute it.
You just got to go out there and play ball. That’s what makes us who we are.
We trust each other to go out there and do our thing.”
Despite their recent triumph, the Seahawks are already the subject of offseason speculation. On Tuesday night, a rumor surfaced on social media suggesting that the Seahawks might have turned down a White House visit. The post, which quickly gained traction with 2.8 million views and 145,000 likes, has sparked a mix of praise and criticism from fans.
The Philadelphia Eagles, who celebrated their Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs with a White House visit, were lauded by Trump, who called quarterback Jalen Hurts a “terrific guy and terrific player,” and praised the team’s construction under Howie Roseman.
As for the Seahawks, whether they will make the trip to the nation’s capital remains to be seen. Until an official decision is announced, this topic is sure to keep NFL fans buzzing.
