Megyn Kelly has no brotherly love for the Philadelphia Eagles over their reported refusal to attend a White House photo op with President Trump after the team’s commanding Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
“GO F YOURSELVES EAGLES,” the 54-year-old media dynamo said in an X post Sunday night. “My husband is a fan so I got onboard but F this BS.”
SAME. GO F YOURSELVES EAGLES. My husband is a fan so I got onboard but F this BS https://t.co/KemoC67QEu

The Kelly backlash came after the team reportedly declined to visit the White House and meet with President Trump, with one player telling The US Sun that team discussions on the subject resulted in a “massive no.”
But there has been pushback on the Sun report, with Outkick founder Clay Travis posting on X that invitations have not yet been sent from the White House.
Kelly herself later acknowledged that she may have jumped the gun, posting, “WH denies that Eagles were asked and this news is from a 2/6 The Sun report about Eagles’ alleged plans if asked. Could be (hopefully?) fake news!”
Trump, the first sitting president ever to attend the Super Bowl, also ran afoul of the Eagles when he pledged support for the Chiefs in the big game.
It’s not the first time Trump and the Eagles were at odds over the DC visit, as the Eagles also snubbed the commander in chief after their 2018 Super Bowl triumph, when Trump was engaged in a dispute with various NFL players who took a knee or remained in the locker room as the national anthem was played.
When numerous Eagles players boycotted the visit over the anthem debate, Trump eighty-sixed the event.
“The Philadelphia Eagles Football Team was invited to the White House,” the president posted to X at the time.
“Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event. Staying in the Locker Room for the playing of our National Anthem is as disrespectful to our country as kneeling. Sorry!”
Kelly also made headlines after the Super Bowl when she praised fans who booed pop superstar Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
“The biggest loser on team Chiefs I do believe was Taylor Swift,” she said. “I think it’s fair to say.”
