Having winning sports figures believe they should be invited to the White House is a fairly recent phenomenon. It is not required by the Constitution, and probably should cease.

No. But only Americans in heart and soul should be invited. The hate Americans can pound sand.

I believe the 1924 Washington Senators were the first team invited over to the White House, visiting Calvin Coolidge.

I tend to agree that since the 1980s....this whole business has gotten out of hand.

If the teams are not interested then I'd definitely forgo the "ceremony".

And... not having them there saves money. Winning!
