An unexpected scene marked the visit of the Kansas City Chiefs to the White House on Monday in Washington, when tight end Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes stole the show from US President Joe Biden.
The champions of the last Super Bowl were received at this emblematic place, as tradition dictates. And some influential members of head coach Andy Reid’s club have made sure to come into their own. So after the team handed the location’s main tenant a personalized Chiefs jersey with “Biden” and “46” on the back, Kelce wanted to take Biden’s place behind the official lectern of the 46th. President of the United States.

Taking advantage of the politician’s inattention chatting with Mahomes, he mentioned, “I’ve been waiting for this moment,” before being abruptly interrupted by the Chiefs quarterback. “Sorry!” Then chained Mahomes, who resumed his role as club leader.
The rest of the champions’ visit took place under the sign of humour. A native of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Biden obviously had to mention his closeness to the city of Philadelphia and its teams, especially the Eagles, unfortunate Super Bowl finalists this year. He also recalled that his wife and first lady, Jill Biden, had well-established sports allegiances.
“I have to be careful in my words today [lundi]. I married a girl from Philadelphia who is an avid Eagles fan. Fortunately, she is on the other side of the ocean right now, he said before returning to the penalty imposed on cornerback James Bradberry which allowed the Chiefs to make a field goal in the last seconds of the last final. Because of the way the game ended, I got off with a tough night.”
