Sometimes there are sports stories that make you scratch your head. This is one such story featuring James Harrison of the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
Harrison, who set a record during the Super Bowl with a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown, said he will skip the customary visit with the President of the United States. Why will Harrison pass on the invite to meet Barack Obama?
This is what Harrison told Andrew Stockey of WTAE Channel 4 Action News: “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.”
Wow. Just wow.
Harrison apparently doesn’t get the concept that the team that wins the Super Bowl gets an invite from the President to meet at the White House.
Wow.
