NFL Defensive Player of the Year, James Harrison, is apparently declining his invitation to the White House. Yet, he claims it isn't political. He says that Obama is a BANDWAGON fan, and he doesn't like the fact that he was only invited because he won. Harrison was quoted as saying:
"This is how I feel -- if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he would've invited Arizona if they had won"
Honestly, I am at a loss for words. This has to be the dumbest protest to ever exist. No shit he would have invited Arizona, it has been a Presidential tradition for decades. So many athletes would probably kill for the chance to meet Obama and tour the White House.
I mean, if that's your attitude, then you probably didn't go to the parade, right? They only had it because you WON. You didn't hold the Lombardi Trophy, I'm sure. You only received it because you WON. Anyways, Roger Goodell probably would have given it to the Cardinals if they won, which obviously means he is a bandwagon commissioner. In fact, based on your theory, all Pittsburgh fans are bandwagon fans because they might not have attended a parade if you lost the Superbowl. I certainly agree with you there.
Thank God someone as smart and insightful as you finally pointed out that every U.S. President to invite a team was a bandwagon fan. Thank God you have the strength of character to not take the popular route (I mean WHO ON EARTH would want to meet the President of the United States?). And Thank God someone with your moral fiber finally realized the flawed system we have, honoring the winners. The Detroit Lions should have been invited to visit the White House! They were 0-16, so it's only fair to them. In fact, I think every team that didn't win the Super Bowl should have been invited! It all makes sense to me now!
So thanks for clearing that one up, James.
what a retard...i think hes showing off his great kent state education
