Jalen Hurts is facing a lot of flack for his strange commitment priorities.
I wrote at the end of April about how the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback skipped his team’s trip to the White House after they won the Super Bowl in February (a game in which Hurts won MVP honors). Hurts said he had a scheduling conflict at the time, but that's not the whole story.
In the past, he has been rather tight-lipped whenever asked about his thoughts about Donald Trump, clearly showing he does not think highly of the president.
But he does like big parties with a bunch of celebrities.
On Monday night, the Met Gala took place in New York City, and Hurts was there with his wife, Bryonna. The couple did look fantastic, and they got a lot of attention for how they looked.

However, not all of the attention was positive.
Many people noted that Hurts was oh so willing to show up to an event at an art museum, but skip out on visiting the president of our country. Some of the replies on X included:
"Should’ve been w ur team w the president. Bad leader."
"couldn’t be at the white house bc he was booked preparing for the met gala."
"Now I get the White House snub."
If Hurts were not as important to the Eagles as he currently is, then it wouldn't matter as much. But because he's the quarterback, the message he sent by snubbing Trump and going to the Met Gala is far more noticeable.
