How fricking pathetic do you have to be to refuse the chance to meet the fricking President?

I detest Obama, would still be cool AF to go to White House and shake his hand though.
This. 100%.

I thought that there has been no championship team yet invited to the White House. How can they decline something that was never offered?

The White House should extend an invite to the #2 team, call them real champions, give them loads of Chick-fil-A and McDonald’s.

At least be honest about why you're declining.

Sure it does. When we elect a real man who isn’t a lardass who is incapable of being the patriarch of a functional family, we get to have fun things like the national basketball champs giving the President a #45 UVA jersey.

I wish there were some way to get THE U of SC to take them off of our schedule next year in protest.

As it is I guess we must all hope for The U of SC to kick their asses next year at their place so that we can rub it in afterwards.

On second thought, Obama doesn't sound bad at all.


In many of those cases though Obama removed a stable regime and allowed radical Muslims to take power.

It wasn’t a fight against radical Islam, we literally destabilized the region and armed the radicals allowing them to take over.

Trump smartly has reversed this and stabilized the region. This is the only way to end the refugee crisis in Europe as well.

I never followed this team before, now I KNOW the Cavaliers are based, and they have real moxie, and the heart of a true champion.

Why do young black men hate trump


Not long ago, most black guys would’ve gotten a kick out of Trump. Not to mention Trump was on good terms with the NAACP. But of course he dared to run as a R and dared to not want to import mass poverty from the third world, so you know. Racist.

If you turned back the clock back twenty or thirty years though, before it all changed, you’d still see some reluctance to be seen with Trump. He’s a crass and vulgar upstart, and we’re Virginians, with all the arrogance that comes with that. Aristocrats in our own mind.


Perfectly stated. I married a Virginian so I can attest.

Trump should invite Auburn and say he's inviting the real champions instead.
