It’s a shame that these men had no educational opportunities in Jim Eagle America. Sarcasm.

Starting the tradition of inviting sports teams to come to the WH was one of Reagan’s biggest mistakes. That’s a tradition that needs to stop.

One suspects the scheduling conflict is Biden goes to bed before these athletes wake up.

Teams visited the White House prior to Reagan’s presidency.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/14870667/how-white-house-visits-championship-teams-became-american-tradition

There is a summation here:

The tradition of sports teams visiting the White House dates to at least Aug. 30, 1865, when President Andrew Johnson welcomed the Brooklyn Atlantics and Washington Nationals amateur baseball clubs. Ulysses S. Grant played host to the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, in 1869. The first World Series championship team feted at the White House is believed to be the 1924 Washington Senators, who visited Calvin Coolidge at the executive residence the following year.

Biden: I’d like to congratulate the Lakers’ James Brown on winning the baseball crown with a record 56 touchdowns.

I heard the big guy is afraid he’ll get the China cootie so he axed the event.
