Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts doesn’t seem all that thrilled about having Donald Trump watch him play in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday.
The United States President is planning to watch the Eagles attempt to dethrone the Kansas City Chiefs in person and has confirmed he will deliver an address before the game.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes claimed to be excited at the prospect of having a sitting president attend the contest, as did his teammate Travis Kelce. However, Hurts showed indifference when reporters asked him about it this weekend.
“He’s welcome to do what he wants,” the Eagles star said when pressed for his feelings.
Asked whether the POTUS’ attendance would add any pressure, he replied: “No, ma’am.”

Jalen Hurts Isn’t Outspoken On Politics
While Jalen Hurts isn’t outspoken on politics and didn’t publicly choose a side ahead of last year’s presidential elections, he spent time with former President. Barack Obama on the golf course, leading to suggestions of an affiliation with the Democratic party.
The quarterback is set to play in his second Super Bowl, having come close to winning in his first appearance but eventually falling short to the Chiefs in 2023.
He will hope to get one over them this time around.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
