That is projection, I wouldn't want to be in the same room with those people either, those people referring to the idiot democrats ruining our country. I wouldn't be there long anyway when I told the idiot President what I thought of him
So glad Obama is focusing on the key issues...

Yes, because he can't possibly just mean "liberals" can he.
Listen, I think it's pretty lame to have this visit but the president has that power. I think it is lame for guys not to show up because they can't stand be around folks who might have different belief systems than they do. But I also think it is lame to think that just because someone doesn't want to attend an event and uses the inocculous phrase "those people," said person is being racist. This word gets tossed around so easily now.

Why now? Dunno. Is it a nice gesture to the team (before they start dying off)? sure. Is it something worth getting excited about either way? No.

Re those who don't want to go - I admit when Bush Jr. was in office, I didn't want to go to the white house and meet him (not that I was ever offered the opportunity). On the other hand, the article has a good point - regardless who it is, it's a big honor.
Of the three refusals, two sound political, one sounds racist, but hopefully that last was just badly stated and he really is opposed to the politics.

Ok, I found out. It turns out what when they were suppose to go (the year after winning) was during the time Nixon was getting kicked out of office so he wasn't exactly "available" to host the team.

If the White House had all black people in it and all of Obama's staff was black then I could understanding viewing "those people" as a racist comment. We all know the White House has plenty of white people in it. Seems to me a lot more like a partisan thing.

While I think SF is just being a right wing parrot on this, (I mean really, how long is this going to take? Is it going to eat up a WHOLE day? OMG, he could have turned the economy around) but this has got to rank right up there with one of the single dumbest quotes EVER. This is NOT promoting the NFL. This is doing nothing more than honoring the only team to ever go undefeated in a season. This will mean zero as far as revenue goes for the NFL. You would defend Obama if he was caught in bed with a dead child.

lol... it was actually posted to lighten up the board a bit... I figured people would take it as Dung did... a bit of a chuckle and then move on.

They made their political beliefs pretty clear as to why they aren't going. I just disagree, based on what was written in that article, that there is anything racist behind it.
