Idiotic excuse to not meet Obama, DMVP not going
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shu...urn=nfl,163886


On Thursday, President Obama will welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers to the White House to honor the team for its recent Super Bowl victory. But, just like in 2006 when the Steelers had a post-title meeting with George W. Bush, defensive MVP (and Super Bowl hero) James Harrison won't be in attendance. But he has a good reason:

"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 [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won."

Usually, when a sentence begins with "as far as I'm concerned," it ends with an opinion, not an incontrovertible fact. Harrison's comment is akin to saying, "As far as I'm concerned, George Washington was the first president."

Of course the Cards would have received the White House invite if they had won. Winners get to go meet the president, losers don't. They also get the trophy, the parade and those hats that say "Super Bowl champs". I don't think James Harrison(notes) turned down any of those things, which makes his refusal to go to the White House a tad hypocritical.

When Harrison won the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year award, he didn't decline and say, "As far as he was concerned, they would've given this award to someone else if they had had a better defensive season." And when he scored that touchdown in the Super Bowl after returning an interception 100 yards, I'm pretty sure Harrison didn't tell the ref to take the points of the board because, as far as he was concerned, if Larry Fitzgerald(notes) had caught him, he wouldn't have scored.

As far as I'm concerned, James Harrison is sort of a fool. If he doesn't want to go to the White House, fine. (Although I can't imagine why anybody wouldn't want to meet the President of the United States.) But don't make a lame excuse in an attempt to justify your decision. Leave that for NFL refeeres.

What's the big deal? Dude gives a stupid reason for rejecting an invitation and people ridicule him for it. Who's to judge what should or shouldn't be judged?

As far as I'm concerned, if he hadn't said something stupid, you wouldn't have to defend him.

AFAIC if every poster in this thread ganged up on James Harrison he still wouldn't need me to defend him.

I know you're desperate, but you really want to blow the President?

I never really understood the champion athletes to the white house thing to begin with. Surely, the president has other things to do.

Oh my god, I was expecting something political or some kind of protest... not reerunation.

Cant they sit Harrison down and explain how this, meeting the Pres. and hanging out in the WH, is part of the CHAMPIONSHIP celebration?

Why did he accept the Lombardi trophy, or why did he accept DMVP?

They could have given the trophy to the Cardinals had they won... They could have given DMVP to Ware had the Cowboys not blown....

Jesus, what a ****ing idiot.

Harrison was saying "I know I'm not invited because the POTUS wants to see me, I'm only invited because it is a formality to invite the SB winner. If the Cards would have won they would have invited them. It's not like I'm turning down a personal invitation or anything".

This is such a non-story its funny.
