Texsox Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 In general, and not specific to the Sox visit, but these things are so stupid. There are so many people I'd rather any President visit with than the NCAA winning Lacross team. I know it's a silly little tradition, but I'd love to see some President stop it. And this is the same for any President and any sports team, college or pro, domestic or international competition, Democrat or Republican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Just think of how much heat the President would get if he stopped this tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem, or if he stopped granting clemency to a turkey, etc. But the women's volleyball championship team had a visit. Hasn't it gone too far?

If you win a professional world title, or a national championship (D-One) then you should get to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 25, 2006 -> 10:32 AM) depends--do they wear bikinis? A woman on Northwestern's winning lacrosse team wore flip flops and ignited a mini-controversy last year. A photo of Northwestern University's national championship women's lacrosse team, taken during the athletes' visit to the White House last week, shows four of the nine women in the front row wearing flip-flop sandals along with their dresses and skirts. The choice of footwear has prompted a mini-controversy — a flip-flop flap, if you will. A front-page story in the Chicago Tribune included the headline "YOU WORE FLIP-FLOPS TO THE WHITE HOUSE?!" inspired by an e-mail sent to player Kate Darmody from her older brother after he saw the photo on the team's Web site.
