For many NFL teams it’s become customary to travel to the White House to meet with the president after winning a Super Bowl, however, this year one football star met with the leader of the United States despite his team not winning the league’s biggest trophy.
President Donald Trump has developed a good relationship several of the NFL’s biggest names, including Saquon Barkley, but on Thursday the second-term president invited Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker to the White House.
Butker was one of several athletes in attendance in Washington D.C. as Trump re-introduced the Presidential Fitness Challenge, which previously allowed public school students to compete in fitness challenges such as push-ups, sit-ups and running a mile.
That appearance alongside president Trump and vice president J.D. Vance included Trump even having an awkward moment where he called Butker a “good-looking sucker.”
