Very likely that it was on account of Obama's policies. Just like Pedro Martinez and Doug Mientkiewicz refused to see Bush back in the day.

Where was the uproar then? Did Don Juan call them names too for skipping white house visit to see GW?

It's not my place to defend Democrats for not going. That's up to you point it out..

All I'm saying, It's been 40 years and the 1972 Dolphins team were not recognized at the White House, due to a repulsican president.

Now all of a sudden, 3 of those team members have a beef ?

Asinine.

I wouldnt want to meet the president. I dont admire or look up to the man. I dont really respect him. He looks like a d bag and I'm sick of seeing his face.

Just as one would bet on, let's say.. Tiger Woods to win a major next year. If he doesn't go, then the bet is off.

Now let's see who the men of character are.

Good man and your stipulation is reasonable

Games must be played on day of bet type stipulation...

Otherwise "no action"

I'll most likely vote for Hillary so I hope you are right

Its not an out on his bet Sarasota

If Hillary throws her hat in the ring, then his Hillary money is an action play.

If she doesn't get the nomination, he loses the bet regardless of who next sits in the oval office because his bet of Hillary & Bill being next couple in WH will ne graded a loss

Neither is another N word, but using it alone as a reason not to see someone is narrow minded, in my opinion

Nope, no cool. No one even reads your posts anymore. You and Roadapple are ignorant, I lost all respect. When you guys post a new topic, I skip them because they're usually looney tunes.

Ignorant? You mean realistic and full of common sense?

Guilty.

Haven't read the story bc I really don't care but do their teammates care if not everyone attends. I am sure some of them are dead. Will they have their pictures and honor those who couldn't make it bc they are deceased?
Just curious

James Harrison refused to go the White House after SB 43. I recall no such furor over Harrison refusing to go see Obama. WGAS WGAF.

I do not think there is uproar - or at least speaking for myself there is no uproar. They can make their own decision. But for some to blame this on Obama is misguided. That would be like me saying that I refuse to post on here cause I do not like 14s point of view (or any other poster). That would be my decision and should not be blamed on the poster I am "boycotting".
