Eli Ricks' Ivanka Remarks Go Viral at White House

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Eli Ricks went viral after expressing admiration for Ivanka Trump on social media during the team's White House visit celebrating their 2025 Super Bowl victory. The visit, hosted by President Donald Trump, was marked by the absence of quarterback Jalen Hurts and several others due to scheduling conflicts. Ivanka Trump, making her first White House appearance since her father's initial term, attended the event with two of her children and shared moments as her son played with Eagles players. Ricks posted tweets calling Ivanka 'beautiful' and 'exactly my type,' despite her marriage to Jared Kushner, which sparked widespread online reactions and humor. The incident overshadowed other aspects of the Eagles' visit, emphasizing the intersection of sports, celebrity, and social media. Ricks' comments made him a focal point of discussion, demonstrating the unpredictable scrutiny athletes face online.
