Jalen Hurts made his point with his brief answer this week when asked about playing Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in front of President Donald Trump.

“The president can do what he wants,” the former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback said.

He was asked if there would be added pressure with Trump in attendance.

“No ma’am,” Hurts said.

To say it was a short response would be an understatement, especially when compared to the other answers to that question.

Trump will be the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl.

Kansas City’s Travis Kelce was excited.

“It’s awesome,” Kelce said. “It’s a great honor. No matter who the president is, I’m excited because t’s the biggest game of my life. And having the president there, you know, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool.”

His teammate, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, also gave a positive answer.

“It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president,” he said.

As you might imagine, Hurts’ answer resulted in quite the social media reaction.

“Good for Jalen,” Kim posted on X.

“Uhoh. I might have to root for Chiefs. Disappointed in Jalen,” Herbie Hall posted.
