My first thought was I can’t wait to hear why a black pro-athlete would not want to meet the first Black President of the United States. I was honestly hoping he was a conservative and was sticking to his political guns. But, then I read his excuse and I just shook my head.
According to James Harrison’s agent (who should be fired) the reason why Harrison is not going to the white house is because, “he just doesn’t want to go.” In the video below with WTAE, Harrison says that he’s not going because, “if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don’t win the Super Bowl. As far as I’m concerned, [Obama] would’ve invited Arizona if they had won.”
When athletes are stunting for the cameras to get press time, things must be bad in the endorsement world. I guess his Super Bowl win didn’t generate him the income he really needs, or he just feels he’s a bigger rock star than Barack Obama…

He’s an ass!! the white house invites every team that wins a national championship. I guess he wasn’t informed of that or something. Again, he’s an ass!!
