Thread: Birk Refuses WH Invite

Re: Ravens at the White House Stream
It's not out of spite. Nor is it about that I disagree with their agenda. It's that I know that person is not doing the same as I am (putting things aside).
If someone does something you find wrong it doesn't give you the license to do the same, except when they do it to you. That's the difference in this scenario.

Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: Birk Refuses WH Invite
Exactly. This is laughable and petty.
Winning the Super Bowl AND meeting the president are two once-in-a-lifetime events, and you are throwing both away because the man has a different political opinion? What a waste of a golden moment. It almost leaves me speechless.My Ravens Blog: Brittany Rants About Football

Re: Birk Refuses WH Invite
I get what your saying. But this isn't specific to him. I have people I don't like and things I don't like about people that I and they put aside to be friends or friendly.
I do not feel that he does the same, for example check out his body language when Benjamin Netanyahu comes in town for a visit.

Re: Birk Refuses WH Invite
Yup.
I guess if one day I have a chance to meet Birk, a crucial member of my favorite team in all pro sports, I'll just turn it down. I mean, as a pro-lifer, Birk probably prefers that pregnant women carry fetuses to term even if it endangers their lives, right? I couldn't stand to be in his presence. If Birk invited me to his home to look at his Super Bowl ring and reminisce about the 2013 playoffs, I'd refuse because 1) it's not like I'm depriving myself of anything cool, 2) his feelings would be hurt SO HARD.

Re: Ravens at the White House Stream
I don't disagree with your premise. I would have no issue shaking Bill Clinton's hand, or many democrats. It's THIS administration of Democrats that have not earned even one ounce of respect from me. IT is not the polarized dichotomy of values and ideals that separate us, it is INTENT. IT is my belief that this administration is NOT actively working to improve the status of our nation worldwide, but is in fact intentionally taking this country into the garbage.

Re: Birk Refuses WH Invite
Right. The standard is not specific to him, but the reason I feel that way about him is shown inn said example.
But anyway. I just went to lunch with a buddy who is a HUGE Obama supporter and asked would he have gone if it were Bush. HE said no but then after talking we both agreed that we actually would go regardless of the President to be with the team we won the championship with. If this were anything different than that (say a beer summit) we would like refuse.
