As of mid-February 2026, reports indicate that the Seattle Seahawks have declined an invitation to visit the White House following their Super Bowl victory, choosing not to participate in the traditional celebration. While invited, the team is not expected to make the visit to Washington, D.C..
I am trying to find verification........so hope it isnt just wishful thinking. Sorry, will post when I find full and true verification.

(20,280 posts)old "rub-and-tug" Kraft is a big MAGAt, so attendance would have been mandatory.
The Seahawks probably figured Trump would want one of their Super Bowl rings.........you know, because Trump was such a crucial part of their winning team this year and he thinks he deserves one.

Not a big sports fan, didn't watch the game, but glad they won.
Glad they won't be going to white house.

(42 posts)...this has yet to be verified as 100% accurate and true so we might want to hold off on celebrating for a minute.
Just sayin'...

(23,481 posts). . .but AFAIC, they should not go there. The WH is too toxic a place nowadays.
And that goes double for the US Olympic team, when they return from Milan/Cortina and their various World Cup circuits.

(237 posts)There once was a team from the Sound,
Whose Super Bowl glory resound
When summoned to D.C.
For White House jubilee,
They chose to keep feet on their ground.
The Seahawks, triumphant and proud,
Had dazzled the fans in the crowd;
Though victory grand
Brought a White House command,
They opted from pomp to unshroud.
An invite to Washington came,
A customary champions claim;
But rumors would say
Theyd not make the way
Tradition unmet by acclaim.
In mid-Februarys chill air,
A question was floating with flair:
Would champions go
To the capitals show?
The answer suggested, Not there.
So Lombardi in tow they remain,
Content with their hard-fought campaign;
While D.C. would wait
At the ceremonial gate,
The champs let convention abstain.

(4,062 posts)That is what we will hear from the buffoon about the Seahawks, projecting himself...Good for them, I hope they stay with their decision because we all know the buffoon will come back with some threats, he cannot tolerate anyone who touches his ego.
What a disgrace! Damn! I want this to end...
And to help it end ASAP we must all unsubscribe to all the companies that are helping the buffoon, such as Amazon, Disney+ (remember how fast Kimmell came back?), Paramount, and a few others. We can all manage without them, but they cannot manage without us. When they get their act together we can go back and subscribe again. I understand that we have become accustomed to the easiness of buying stuff from Amazon, but Costco has a lot of the things we get from Amazon, Wal-Mart which is slightly less evil also has everything you can buy from Amazon. I buy books from local bookstores, one to support local business but they also sell used books for the same price as Amazon. It is a hard choice for all of us, but we can do without Amazon, Whole Foods, and the other companies helping this government, once their revenue falls, they will wake up and suddenly become real patriots, they will stop supporting the buffoon.

(38,469 posts)MFer is probably not extending an invitation to avoid the issue.
As a billionaire, Jodi Allen is probably agnostic on Trump, but the millionaire players probably aren't. 90% of the roster is black.
The city definitely isn't. We hate his guts.
The rest of WA State fucking loves them some Dotard.

(14,692 posts)Even if the team came, there would be several high profile players who would announce their boycott, and that would be the lead story. Trump fragile little ego wont take a chance of that public disapproval.

(134,257 posts)The Space Needle doesn't look like that. Pete Carroll is no longer coach though that barely looks like him.
The Seahawks new coach is Mike McDonald who's 38 and doesn't have gray hair.
