Super Bowl champ Jalen Hurts had fans loving his seemingly shady response after a reporter pressed him on why he didn't attend the Eagles' White House visit to meet President Trump.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts offered a blunt response when a reporter asked him why he didn't attend his Super Bowl-winning team's White House visit to meet President Donald Trump.

Hurts was reserved when asked by Time magazine last month whether he planned to attend. He went viral after video showed he could only squirm and try not to look into the camera before walking away. The reporter who spoke to him at the time could only stand there, also pretty awkwardly, we assume, before muttering a quick "thank you."


But a different reporter brought this up again, leading to Hurts giving the following clipped answer:

“I wasn’t available. I don’t think that’s pertinent. Everyone who went, and was available, they seemed to enjoy themselves.”

You can hear what he said in the video below.

People appreciated his shady response.


Funny how reporters can remember to ask follow up questions to athletes but fail to do their jobs when it comes to politicians

Because they’ve hit integrity…in fact I don’t need an explanation…doing something good doesn’t require it.

They don't need to explain. Why are they even being asked? It's their choice, we don't live in N Korea YET. 😡

Although franchise owner Jeffrey Lurie said last month that being “celebrated at the White House” is a “time-honored tradition,” he did note that the trip was completely optional, so Hurts was not going to face any penalty whatsoever for choosing not to attend.

Although Hurts is the most prominent player on the team, it's worth pointing out that at least a dozen other players were absent and did not attend for one reason or another.

GOP Senator Faces MAGA Backlash Over Plan To Sell Millions Of Acres Of Public Land

Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing harsh criticism—including from Team MAGA—over his proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land in the American West owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to supposedly create more affordable housing.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

Woman Sparks Debate About What Color Her Furniture Is—Only To Discover She's Colorblind

We've all heard the saying that there's no way of knowing everything that you don't know until you're faced with it directly. For some people, that could even be the color of the world around them.
