So Brady was at Gillette Stadium stretching as Patriots visited Obama?

[Drama Queen]

Wow. He's above everything.

The only thing Brady did right

Pretty weak.

An invitation from The President of the United States and you don't accept it without a good reason not to.

I could understand it if you were some Third World tinpot dictator.

[Drama Queen]

He's not handling himself well. It's a bad week for him. Like others mentioned, if Brady drags this thing out, he's going to take a permanent PR hit.

[Dim Bulb]

Great example of what I was talking about

The only thing Brady did right

When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

[slag]

Bad handling?

He put whatever part of the population who hates Obama in his corner and had no effect on those who don't give a fuck either way.

I'm guessing that adds up to a majority.

Not cool to disrespect the office of the Presidency.

Maybe Brady picked up some respect among Boston racists and southern rednecks who would otherwise hate anybody associated with the Northeast.

Still totally disrespectful to the office.

[slag]

Eh ... people who don't respect him aren't going to fault Brady for failing to respect the office.

And if I had to bet on it, I'd put big money on it not being confined to Boston racists and southern rednecks.

The "office of the presidency"?

What is this, a kingdom? One must kneel at the feet of the president? If you don't respect the person in office, why you should you meet him/her? It's not like Brady is the first athlete/celebrity to say "no thanks"

[Riccardo]

yep

What's the office? A fancy room with a desk and furniture? Why does that deserve "respect"?

[slag]

Well now, I'm not saying that disrespect for the office is cool.

However, if Brady did the same thing to the previous President, I'd be posting the same thing about a different segment of the population.

I get it you hate and DISRESPECT President Obama ("don't respect")... your words.

You referred to him as a "bum". Pretty lame.

I know you would be singing a different tune if the respective parties of the people involved were reversed.

Lame

I believe this is where you differ from Riccardo. I have a strong feeling that if it was McNabb bagging out on a visit to George W. Bush, I'm pretty sure he would have a different take.

[Riccardo]

Where did I ever say I hate or disrespect him?

Never said that at all. That's your interpretation. Pretty lame.

And yes several athletes celebrities refused to meet Bush and Reagan, and I feel the same way - why should they if they don't respect them? It's their choice.
