The Boston Bruins hockey goalie and general all-around badass team leader has opted out of going to the White House to be honored by President Obama, claiming political differences.
Y’know what? These types of meetings have little or nothing to do with ‘politics’ per se, and everything to do with ceremony. The Bruins won the Stanley Cup and the leader of the country gives them a ‘high-five’ and everyone smiles for the camera.
Thomas not going now makes it into something it need not be. Besides the fact that it seems disrespectful to me to turn down the visit because as leader of the team, he’s supposed to lead and he’s now put his teammates into a strange position. Do they stand by him and not go? Do they go and then be placed in a difficult situation with their team leader?
This is a debaucle and unnecessary distraction.
Tim Thomas is a table.
Massengil makes tables now?
