Chiefs' Andy Reid, Tyreek Hill and Tyrann Mathieu Say They'll Visit the White House

The longstanding tradition for championship-winning teams traveling to the nation's capital to meet with the sitting U.S. President has drawn a ton of controversy since Donald Trump's election in 2016, for obvious reasons.

Well, the Kansas City Chiefs are fresh off capturing their first Super Bowl win in 50 years and are due for a trip to Washington D.C.

Head coach Andy Reid was asked about his intentions and revealed that he would be in attendance.

“I’ll be there. If they’re inviting us, I’ll be there. It’s quite an honor, I think," Reid told reporters.

The same can be said for wideout Tyreek Hill, who seems enthused for the visit.

"That would be great to go to the White House," the Chiefs speedster told the Kansas City Star. "I’ve never been to D.C., so that would be great."  

Defensive back duo Tyrann Mathieu and Bashaud Breeland also confirmed they will except Trump's invite, should he reach out to the organization.

"It's going to come -- we're Super Bowl Champions," Breeland said of is impending free agency. "We'll cross that bridge when we cross it. We had to get this game down first and now we know we got a trip going to the White House."

"I'm here to represent the Kansas City Chiefs," Mathieu added. "I think my teammates feel the same way. Anytime we get the opportunity to represent Kansas City the right way, represent our teammates the right way, I don't see any wrong in that."

Well, there you have it.

It appears that the Chiefs, or at least some of their biggest stars, are taking the high road in being quick to forgive Trump for his misguided congratulatory tweet, and honoring him with a trip to the White House.
