Not even a day after it was revealed that the college football national champions, Georgia Bulldogs, were allegedly not invited to the White House, things have made an immediate change. According to senior writer for The Athletic, Seth Emerson, Georgia has received an official invite to the White House to commemorate their 2022 national championship run.

“Georgia has officially been invited to the White House to commemorate its (second straight) national championship. From a White House official this evening: ‘The President looks forward to welcoming the Georgia Bulldogs to the White House,’” said Emerson via Twitter.

The 2022 Bulldogs will get to celebrate their championship the same way they should have last year; with a trip to the White House to meet Joe Biden, the 46th president of the United States. It is unclear whether or not Georgia defensive lineman Warren Brinson’s comment on Twitter, tagging Biden in the statement, played a significant role in the invite. But it appears that they definitely did not hurt.

It appears Georgia won’t be celebrating their most recent National Championship like others before them: with a trip to the White House. Bulldogs defensive lineman Warren Brinson announced the team isn’t heading to Washington for the annual acknowledgement ceremony with the president, even tagging President Joe Biden in his tweet.

“No invite to the White House is crazy,” Brinson tweeted.

Neither Georgia nor the White House have commented on the decision.

It’s the second straight year the Bulldogs aren’t going to the White House. Last year, after winning their first title in 40 years, the team wasn’t able to go because of COVID-19 restrictions. This year, multiple Georgia representatives requested the White House invite the team after the team won its second consecutive title.
