There was also a hockey goalie IIRC who nixed a visit to see 0. This cuts both ways these days.

How arrogant. They won’t attend IF invited. Well you have not been invited yet. Did you think that Trump might be just a tad busy. Why do Sports teams think they are entitled to a visit. Not like they eked on the moon or something.

Brady has already said the reason he skipped the Obama invite was the team was only given 10 days notice. He had a family commitment. Think it was a sister’s wedding.
