It was in an unusual outfit that Joe Biden gave part of his speech on Friday May 31 at the White House. The American president received the American football team Kansas City Chiefs, who won the Super Bowl last February. For the occasion, the Democrat was offered a special gift: a bright red helmet in the team colors, which he did not fail to put on his head to the laughter and cheers of NFL stars.
The Kansas City Chiefs are the first team to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy back to back since the New England Patriots in the 2003-2004 season. “Winning twice in a row… I like that,” the president joked in a clear reference to his upcoming presidential duel with Donald Trump.

Harrison Butker was also present at the White House. He had sparked controversy in recent weeks after a speech deemed misogynistic and homophobic during a diploma ceremony in the United States. He notably criticized Joe Biden for defending, despite his Catholic faith, the right to abortion, which according to him corresponds to the “murder of innocent babies”. He had also denounced “dangerous ideologies around gender” and “an entire month” dedicated to “mortal sins”, a reference to the season of pride marches, or gay prides, celebrated across the United States.
