Eagle calls Ivanka Trump his 'type' after White House visit

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Eli Ricks recently expressed his admiration for Ivanka Trump during a White House visit, posting on social media that she is his "type." This remark followed the team's celebration of their Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. While some players opted out of the visit, Ricks was glad he attended, sharing his thoughts on Ivanka's beauty. Other Eagles, including MVP Jalen Hurts, skipped the visit, prompting mixed reactions online, with some cautioning Ricks about the potential implications of his comments. Meanwhile, Ivanka shared a lighthearted video of her son racing former Giants running back Saquon Barkley on the White House lawn, but did not respond directly to Ricks' posts.

What can we learn about athlete behavior in political contexts from Ricks' and Barkley's experiences?How does the NFL typically handle player comments that intersect with political themes?What potential long-term effects could Ricks' comments have on his career?What insight does this situation provide into the intersection of celebrity and politics?
