James Harrison to Skip White House Visit

I wouldnt blame him, he's still rebelling from the May 4, 1970 massacre at Kent State.

why do we care about a pitt steeler being a dushe and not going to meet the prez?

Ummm, b/c it's funny?

Complete and utter dumbass.

OMG what a tool friggen box. This guy is an embarrassment to Coventry High School and Akron in general.
Imagine with this guy's juice abuse if he somehow lives past 50 and one of his kids ask him about turning down a chance to meet the first black president in history. His response would be what? "I didn't go because he wouldn't have invited me if I hadn't won the Super Bowl on 'roids."
Freakin Rhodes Scholar this guy.

Well at least a few Secret Service guys will get that day off since they would have been assigned to following Roid Monkey Harrison around to make sure he didn't f up anything important in the Prez's residence.
Roid Monkey typifies the Roidsburgh Cheaters for me. He's their poster boy.

This seemed like a story that a 12 year old Brown's fan would write at 2 AM...I'm left speechless that this is legitimate. Hate politicians all you want, but dammit, have a better rationale than "he would've invited the other guys if they had won instead" what a freaking meatheaded moron. Shame falls on pitt and akron and anyone else associated with this confused and inappropriately indignant fool. At the very least he could say that he didn't believe in a political figure capitalizing on his success in a round a bout way, but that would've been mature and thought out.

I don't know what I am having more fun doing:trying to figure out why Harrison never wants to go to the White House or reading YINZ comments.

Having grown up in Youngstown near the border, I am happy to tell you that you didn't even manage to use your backwards coloquealism properly. Save yourself the embarassment, or continue to provide us with laughs. Harrison is indefensible, unless your a fan that likes to give passes to assholes like Lakers fans and Ravens fans.

Funny if he did not make the trip last time why is this such a big deal now, just cause it is Obama and not Bush?
Cause I don't remember such a big hub-bub the last time!

Look, I understand boycotting the visit-the-White-House-after-winning-a-championship thing if you disagree with the President's politics, etc., but James Harrison's "reasons" seem a little, to put it in yinzer dialect, not thinked out too good.
James Harrison to Skip White House Visit
Throughout the course of recent memory, the President of the United States has hosted major championship teams' visits to the White House. It's become a sort of American tradition. You win the championship in baseball, football, basketball or hockey, you meet with the President.
Apparently James Harrison, the NFL's reigning Defensive Player of the Year and a key cog in the Steelers' Super Bowl victory over the Arizona Cardinals, doesn't understand the concept. He's going to skip the White House visit. That's his right and there's nothing at all wrong with not going. His rationale, however, is a bit self-important (and by "a bit," I mean "ridiculously").
"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," said Harrison.
Um, dude ... that's not just how you feel. That's an absolute fact, and it's common knowledge. The White House visits are for teams who win the championship. If you don't want to go, just don't go. You don't have to pontificate about your selfish and irrational reason. What is the President -- who has a few more things to be worried about -- supposed to do? Just arbitrarily invite teams to visit the White House every once in a while? It wouldn't be special anymore, nor would it serve any purpose. I guess that's the way Harrison thinks it should be, though.
For the record, this isn't in any way related to politics. Harrison skipped a meeting with then-President Bush in 2006 after the Steelers won the Super Bowl. Sounds like he just thinks he's so important, world leaders should routinely clear their schedules for him -- even if his team misses the playoffs.

You find it funny that we are making fun of (and justifiably so) of your roid monkey Harrison?Dude, there won't be a sports fan in the world who won't make fun of him once news of this starts to spread.
I can't wait to hear them rip him to shreds on PTI.
What a complete and utter dumbshit...
I wish I was able to make others out to be they way I want them to be, even though my way can't even be backed up by facts.
-
Dumb agreed. However who the xxxx cares? I sure as hell don't because the rest of the team is going and we're wearing a sixth super bowl ring. If it's on PTI it's a 30 second snip where they will both say "WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING" and move on just like the Pittsburgh fan base. I didn't post after initially reading this the day it was posted because I had hoped it would just die. It obviously didn't and that's fine but it's also why I'm posting now. In more important news the salary cap was increased and the Steelers and the rest of the NFL should be able to resign their important veterans and aspiring rookies sooner than later.

At least he is consistent - I believe he also snubbed Bush II as well, after Super Bowl XL. If it were me I might do the same thing, whether I agreed with the sitting President's policies or not. I would not like to be used by whoever is in power, getting his picture taken with the latest winner to get some of that champion dust sprinkled on him.
I am sure that no Browns players will be snubbing the President after
a Super Bowl win any time soon.

There wasn't a clear explaination of his reason in the article but Harrison's point is "no one wanted to meet me before I was famous, I haved worked against all odds more whole life to make it to where I am. Why would I feel honored to meet some arrogant politician who had it easy their whole life?". (Of course, Obama wasn't born into a rich family the way Bush was)

(Of course, Obama wasn't born into a rich family the way Bush was)The President of the United States of America is generally regarded as the highest ranking official in the free world. It is in this capacity that one would feel honored and accept an invitation for a formal greeting. Politics aside, this is the leader of our country. Harrisons reasoning is bankrupt of all reasoning.

Honestly, all the rivalry stuff aside, this is extrememly embarrassing for Pitt. I saw his interview and he comes off as a complete moron and I guarantee this will have a trickle down effect with his teammates. I'd be embarrassed as hell to have this guy as a teammate.
Great work Pittspuke, your best player last year is a roid headed Retard but I guess Pitt fan never has cared much about the character of their players anyway.
-
What a moron. This dude is stupid.
However, he came through in the Super Bowl though. Huge play. Tons of heart.
There are nicer, smarter players out there, but I would want him on the Browns. Defensive player of the year. The man comes to play.
