... don’t recall any controversy over that and, certainly, it didn’t stop me from rooting for those teams.

Liberal mindset, tolerance and diversity is grand as long as we agree with them. In reverse, they the libs are xenophobic to the max. And anyone who is not in lockstep is obviously from a different planet in the Lib's mind.

But meeting with the president and giving him a jersey? The Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Braves, and Alabama Crimson Tide football team all met with Bill Clinton — at times, very controversial — after winning championships during the 1990s. I don’t recall any controversy over that and, certainly, it didn’t stop me from rooting for those teams.

The Seahawks won nothing. This was part of a political fundraiser.

Yeah, I think the fundraising is the issue.

I think those of us without lobotomies can appreciate the difference between football champions being received at the White House and football players lending their names to political fundraisers.

BDS at its finest. It does make you wonder how BDS suffers are going to cope going forward.

If another republican wins in 2008, will they transfer all that animosity to them? If a democrat wins, will it all just blow away . . .

I would expect in the case of a Democratic win we would see a recurrence of CDS.

Didn't we already know that the Hasselbecks are right wingers?

I believe every Superbowl winner, NBA champ, Olympic team, etc. gets invited to the Whitehouse for a ceremony. It is puff press piece for whoever is in office and even the athletes who vote for the other party are usually thrilled to be an honorary guest.

I see this as just the same thing, just initiated from the athelete's side. He was not making a political statement (ala Dixie Chicks), but just getting a chance to rub elbows with whoever is occupying the Office of the President.
