It's still (more or less) a free country. He doesn't like Obama and doesn't want to go. Can't blame me for spending his time on something less miserable.

He's also the only American on the team. So the sole American is the one refuses to meet his president. He's turning a non-political event (let's face it, every title team in every sport gets an invite - the only person I can think of who turned it down was James Harrison, and that was on truly bizarre "you don't invite the losers too" grounds) and turning it into a political event. Which is a shame. This is one of those "acts of state" not "acts of government". He's being a douchenozzle and making it all about himself, reportedly over his teammates objections.

If I didn't already hate the Bruins, I'd use this as an excuse to start. Thomas is a great goalie, though.

how could anyone have a problem with this? Outside of not being there with your team, that article got it right I think. It's his choice and that's what's great about this country.
