It was a memorable day for many at the White House as the Philadelphia Eagles celebrated their Super Bowl LIX victory with President Donald Trump. 

But it was unforgettable for Ivanka Trump’s son Theo who got a special moment with Eagles star Saquon Barkley in the Rose Garden at the White House.

Ivanka posted a video and pictures to her social media platforms on Monday following the celebration, during which Theo and Barkley had a quick game of catch while running around the area.

Ivanka even divulged that her son bravely challenged one of the fastest men in the NFL to a race.  

"Celebrating with champions at the White House today!" Ivanka captioned her Instagram post. "Congratulations to the [Eagles] on an amazing season and Super Bowl win!

"My highlight of the day? Theo challenging [Barkley] to a race in the Rose Garden after my father wisely demurred! Thanks Saquon for being such a great sport!"

Barkley has been with Ivanka’s family in the past, as he previously attended the J.P. Morgan tech 100 summit, which featured Trump’s daughter, her husband, Jared Kushner, Tom Brady and many more. 

"Thank you Saquon for the great kindness you showed my son Theo – so much so that we’re willing to accept you’ve left the Giants. Still hurts, though," Ivanka replied to an X post from Barkley, which featured a picture of the three of them together. 

Barkley was with many of his teammates, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Siriani, among others, at the White House on Monday. 

Trump praised Barkley’s abilities to help the Eagles lift the Lombardi Trophy at the end of their season, especially his backward leap over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender during the regular season. 

Barkley, though, had to defend his time with Trump prior to the celebration, as they were spotted at the 47th president’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. 

"lol some people are really upset cause I played golfed and flew to the White House with the PRESIDENT," Barkley tweeted on Monday. "Maybe I just respect the office, not a hard concept to understand. Just golfed with Obama not too long ago… and look forward to finishing my round with Trump ! Now ya get out my mentions with all this politics and have amazing day."

Trump had glowing praise of Barkley as he talked to reporters before he headed back to D.C.

"What a nice guy he is. I wanted to race him, but I decided not to do it," the president said.

Each year, NFL owners vote on potential rule changes heading into the next season, and one proposal in particular has sparked widespread debate.

The Green Bay Packers submitted a proposal to ban the Philadelphia Eagles’ famous "tush push" play, where quarterback Jalen Hurts is shoved forward in short-yardage situations, especially on the goal line for a touchdown. 

While there is large debate about whether the play should remain in the game or not, President Donald Trump showed which side of the fence he’s on during the team’s White House celebration for their Super Bowl LIX victory on Monday afternoon.

Discussing that 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, which Trump was present for in New Orleans, he mentioned their first touchdown scored, which was Hurts being pushed into the end zone to take the lead. 

"The Eagles scored a touchdown on their signature play: the tush push. You know what that is? I hope they keep that play, coach, I don’t know," Trump said, looking at Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni. "They’re talking about getting rid of that play, I understand. They should keep it. What do you think Saquon [Barkley]?

"I like it. It’s sort of exciting and different."

EAGLES' JALEN HURTS SKIPPING TRUMP VISIT AS TEAMMATE SPENDS TIME WITH HIM AT GOLF COURSE

NFL owners are expected to continue discussing a potential ban of the play after tabling it until the next owners' meetings on May 20-21 in Minnesota. 

The Packers had 16 teams support its proposal, but a minimum of 24 owners must approve the change for it to pass. 

The rule change specifically states a ban of an offensive player having the ability to immediately push his teammate who is lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap.

The NFL usually does not approve rules that target one specific team, which this one appears to do. While it is a legal play, the Eagles have cashed in tremendously from it over the last three seasons. Only the Buffalo Bills have come remotely close to the Eagles’ success, having used their own version of it a considerable amount with quarterback Josh Allen, the league’s MVP, last season. 

Trump does, however, want the league to go back to something they did change in the 2024 season: kickoffs. 

"I would like to see something done," he said. "I would like to go back to the regular kickoff, however. We don’t like that kickoff where nobody’s moving. The ball’s in the air and nobody’s moving."

NFL owners did modify the kickoff structure for the 2025 season, as touchbacks will be marked at the 35-yard line, a move that is expected to elevate return rates. 

But Trump won’t be happy to see that players still won’t be running downfield like they used to. They must wait until the ball touches the ground, or the return man makes contact with the ball. 

Trump, the Eagles, and everyone else who loves the NFL will be waiting patiently to see if the tush push will remain in the game.
