Just saw the World Champion Seahawks AREN'T GOING TO THE White HOUSE. [View all]

Last edited Wed Feb 18, 2026, 01:24 PM - Edit history (1)

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 isn’t just wishful thinking. Sorry, will post when I find full and true verification.
