… ‘Are You F***ing Kidding Me?’

President Donald Trump is inviting the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House after all … and Pacman Jones says it would be “ludicrous” for players to miss out on the opportunity.
TMZ Sports caught up with the former NFL star at LAX on Tuesday — prior to No. 47 confirming he would open his doors to the Super Bowl champs — and asked all about the speculation the team might pass on the honor.
Pacman said it’s a no-brainer — everyone absolutely should go to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue … regardless of their political views.
“That’s what Champions do, they go to the White House,” Jones — an outspoken Trump supporter — said. “You might not get to do that ever again.”
As for those within the organization who might not be thrilled about the guy in the Oval Office … Jones essentially says they should suck it up.
“There’s a lot of people that have jobs that do not like their CEO, but go to work every day,” Jones added … pointing out other examples of how it’s a common practice throughout everyday life.
“So I think it’s kind of ludicrous that you win the championship and don’t wanna go to the f***ing White House. Are you f***ing kidding me?”
Jones also claims he talked to some people … who made it clear at least some players were going to reject the offer — something he hopes they reconsider.
“Like I always said, in the locker room politics don’t have nothing to do with us bonding together to get to one thing, which is winning the Super Bowl,” he said. “But I think it’s an experience you get once in a lifetime. Wait five years from now and see if a motherf***er invites you to the White House. No. So that’s my take.”
