The Kansas City Chiefs, including Harrison Butker and Rashee Rice, were invited to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory on Friday. All the players, such as star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, Butker and Rice are expected to attend the annual White House event honoring the pro football champions, senior administration officials said.
Butker also criticized the Biden administration for its positions on abortion and the COVID-19 pandemic. Rice, a wide receiver, turned himself in to police last month in connection with a multi-car crash in Dallas in March. While all the Chiefs are invited, White House officials said last-minute changes are still possible and players may call audibles and not attend. It's unlikely that Kelce's world-famous girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, will attend.
