Malcolm Jenkins explained why Jalen Hurts' decision to skip a Super Bowl celebration at the White House was such an important moment

Jalen Hurts was not in attendance when the Philadelphia Eagles visited the White House on Monday to celebrate their 2024 NFL championship. The former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback, it was reported, would not be among the Eagles at the ceremony, with the White House saying Hurts and other players who would not be there had “scheduling conflicts.”

Hurts did not provide a reason and declined to answer last week when asked about whether or not he would attend.
