Pittsburgh's James Harrison Is No Obama Fan

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be visiting the White House and meeting Steelers' fan, President Barack Obama, as reigning Super Bowl Champions have done for years as part of the tradition. However, one player who will not be joining them is Steelers linebacker and NFL Defensive MVP James Harrison.
Harrrison was interviewed the other day and had this to say about the visit:
"This is how I feel. If you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he (Obama) would've invited Arizona if they had won," said Harrison.
Yes James, you are correct there, as the winning team in all the major professional and college sports get the photo op of attending and presenting the President with the ceremonial team jersey when they WIN the game.
When the Steelers won the Super Bowl in 2006, Harrison did not attend the team's visit to the White House then as well. Perhaps it has nothing to do with what he said, and maybe he is just not a fan of politics. Maybe Harrison lost more than just his wind when he returned that interception for a TD at the end of the fiest half in this year's Super Bowl. Then again, perhaps he is just not as smart of a guy off the field as he appears to be when on it.

How this man got cut 3 or 4 times when he is such a beast on the field. What a genius.

James, let me explain something.....
You only get to go WHEN you win.
Wow, what a brain surgeon he is. Stay classy, Pittsburgh…

So …. James is not allowed to have an opinion not to go to see the President because he feels like it’s a puppet position to go? He stated that if the Arizona Cardinals won then they would be going. He is absolutely correct! It’s like girls that want a ring on their finger … it doesn’t matter WHO it is as long as they get that marriage proposal. Props to James Harrison for not being shallow, having an opinion and not being anybody’s’ puppet!

No
As a citizen of the U.S. he should respect the office of the president enough to visit with his team, regardless of how he feels about the president. That is one of the highest honors in our country and it is a team activity.
It’s like girls that want a ring on their finger … it doesn’t matter WHO it is as long as they get that marriage proposal.
That’s almost as dumb as what Harrison said. Of course only the champions are invited to the white house to meet the president. That’s how it works and has worked for a long time.
So your saying the president should quit inviting national champs to visit, and instead have his favorite team come by every year?
Harrison does not understand that it’s not jumping on the bandwagon, it’s a tradition of honoring the champions in our nations capital.
James is not allowed to have an opinion not to go to see the President because he feels like it’s a puppet position to go?
He is allowed to have an opinion, but he also allowed to get blasted when that opinion is retarded.
He stated that if the Arizona Cardinals won then they would be going. He is absolutely correct!
Takes a genius to figure that out. Bravo James!
Props to James Harrison for not being shallow, having an opinion and not being anybody’s’ puppet!
But he is being the very definition of shallow by not accepting a high honor because the President is a “bandwagon fan”.

It's a TEAM honor!
You’re part of the steam, so put your own selfish feelings aside for the team like you do on the field. You don’t have to be happy or even agree, just shut up and do what the team that JUST gave you a TON of money wants you to do.
That’s why he’s an idiot, not for having an opinion.

nobody is saying the president shouldn't invite them
I’m just saying that Harrison has a right to an opinion and a right to break tradition. Sure, you have your right to blast him for it, but you should also recognize that plenty of people will find your opinion to be retarded as well.

What is his opinion?
That the Cardinal’s would have been invited if they would have won?
That’s not opinion, it’s fact, and it’s common knowledge to everyone except James Harrison.
Sure, It’s his right not to go, but it would have looked better to most people for Harrison to have either had no comment(if he really was so perturbed that the Steelers were only invited b/c they are the champs), or had an actual reason or opinion for not wanting to go.

fair enough,
I just don’t see what the big deal is. James Harrison isn’t interested in visiting the President. Bill Parcells is divorced. The moon was full two weeks ago and now its waning. The sky remains blue.
To me, I don’t see why anybody even cares. It just shows how slow the football news cycle is during the offseason that this is even under discussion at this point.

Why the US is Different and Better
Because Mr. Harrison has the right to not go. It is called freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing because it is there to not only protect political speech, but any speech: personal, religious, cultural, etc.
Props to him for having the courage of his convictions by not going in ’06 AND now.

His rational for not going is retarded, I agree.
It doesn’t make any sense. I hope he has alterior reasons for not going and this was a poorly thrown together excuse made in haste. If he was being serious, I have no clue how to address it?
That being said, I don’t give a shit either way. As long as he keeps handing the rat birds their ass, all is well. LOL

Yeah, but this is the guy....
…that your team just handed a multi-million dollar contract to a few weeks ago. Couldn’t he just suck it up for his team, keep his opinion out of the media and just try to make it llok like he csres. He could stand in the back with a bored look on hi sface and no one would notice or care. Instead, he voices his comments for the whole world to laugh at him and now he looks like a rich, spoiled idiot.
I think I’ll take our LB’s over yours now.

I Don't get it, Rexx
I really see no problem with Harrison not going to the whitehouse. I also don’t see how this makes him look stupid. The guy doesn’t like the disingenuous nature of the presidential invite, and I’m not sure I would either. It doesn’t make him look spoiled and I don’t think many people are laughing at him, besides us Ravens fans who all-too-often look for immature reasons to diss the steelers.
Frankly, you’re just making us all look like we have an inferiority complex.
Guys have a right to express an opinion, which I think he did respectfully. It wasn’t like he said “nah, f*** that noise, I don’t like the President,” he just said that he wasn’t interested in going because the President wasn’t interested in him as a Steeler but rather as a Super Bowl Champion. If you wanted to show some objection, an absence and a simple comment is a classy way to handle it.

I don’t think that this post reflects badly on us whatsoever. If Harrison believes that the Steelers should not visit the White house unless they’re invited every year, than he really needs to step back into reality. The White House visit is a benefit of winning the Super Bowl. By his logic, they shouldn’t have a Super Bowl parade in Pittsburgh because they don’t do it every season. If fact, they probably shouldn’t get SB rings because they don’t get them every season. Sure, he’s got a right to his own opinion… and I have the right to say that he’s acting extremely immature and arrogant.
Harrison must have read the Underdog Card Always Perfect Card For Steelers fanpost written by Kip the cage fighter.

that's a fair point
I just don’t see why it bothers so many people that he wasn’t inclined to visit the White House. Personally, I might consider skipping it myself if I were him (although I would probably be pretty excited to meet the most powerful man in the world). I’m just saying, I don’t think its such a big deal that he turned it down. I think it has pretty much zero relevance.
by jackmca on May 18, 2009 4:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Also I think its kindof different
between the Super Bowl parade and the Super Bowl presidential invite. Obviously the parade in Pittsburgh will be attended by many die-hard Steeler fans. The president, on the other hand, is a Bears fan.

The Presidential Office
is a fan of no team and that is what/who the Steelers are really visiting. Particular President’s come and go but the honor of the Presidential office, the highest position in our country, remains.
To bring this particular President’s rooting interests into it are just petty and shortsighted by Harrison.

do you guys...
honestly give a damn about whether or not a player respects the honor of the office of President?
If the shoe was on the other foot and Suggs didn’t want to go to the White House, wouldn’t you still want him as a Raven? I know I would. And if there was any minescule misgiving on my part about it, I would probably get over it pretty quickly.

It's ironic though,..
…that just a few short years ago he would have had to stand in line to see the White House, much less a football field. Now he is getting paid millions of dollars to do what most people would sell their soul for. Then the first chance he gets at being humble, he chooses instead to speak out against the honor. Call it what you want, but to me that’s the opposite of the type of person you want your players to be off the field. Defend it any way you want, it’s just not what us fans should expect.

The fans should expect...
…good football. Just about everything else is irrelevant (except for severe off-the-field issues like arrests).
James Harrison had every right to hold out for a new, bigger contract. Ray Lewis had the same right. Both got what they wanted. It has nothing to do with whether or not you would sell your soul to do what they do. What matters is that they put people like you and I in the stands and they bring in the money.
A WNBA superstar could be the best basketball player in the world, even better than LeBron James, but she would never get paid as much because she would never bring in the same type of money for the team owners and the league. People need to forget about all this “what the fans deserve” crap, it has no importance at all.

I was kindof off-topic there,
But the point is that fans need to remember that James Harrison does not owe you anything. He doesn’t owe you some sense of satisfaction that he gave you what you expected as a fan. He can do what he wants as long as he plays well on Sundays and doesn’t get into trouble on the other 6 days of the week.

If your talking from a talent standpoint, you would be choosing the wrong squad. Our line backing crew this year is dripping with sickness!! I’d be willing to throw down a large bet that combined, they are statistically the best group in the in the league.
If you are just re-enforcing your point that Harrison’s could have, and should have handled the situation differently, I agree!

stats don't matter
especially with numbers like “tackles.” Sure, its good to get a lot of tackles, but generally speaking the league leader in tackles will be a LB on one of the worst defenses. That is because bad defenses can’t get off the field and whoever their best tackler is will simply continue to make tackles as the other team marches down the field.
Suggs, for instance, did not record THAT many tackles. But he was nearly flawless in his execution of his responsibilities and is a very versatile player, so the stats don’t tell the full story.
Stats also don’t reflect how a guy like Haloti Ngata (or Casey Hampton for your Steelers fans) can eat up double-teams. They don’t tell you how many times Bart Scott demolished a fullback before Ray Lewis closed in for an uncontested tackle. They don’t tell you how many times a quarterback DIDN’T throw the ball to Ed Reed (or Troy Polamalu if you prefer).
So, basically, forget stats. They’re fun to beat off to if you’re a fantasy football player with Drew Brees on your team. For those of us concerned with defensive cohesion and overall performance, its much more relevant to discuss players’ individual talents, weaknesses, and responsibilities. If your scheme gives your players responsibilities that they are well-suited to fulfill, you will probably play solid defense. If you ask your players to play outside of their areas of expertise (as the Ravens’s secondary was often asked to do), weaknesses will emerge.

I dont blame Harrison for his thinking
But I also think it is stupid to pass up on this opportunity. This has been maybe the most important election in U.S. history, and he does not want to go?
On the other hand, he has a point that Obama would have invited the Cardinals if they won, but they didn’t. So go to the white house!
I find this interesting though guys. After you guys won in 2005 against the Seahawks, did Harrison refuse to go visit President Bush because he would have invited Seattle had they won? Or is just because he is a “superstar” now that he has to make this decision about Obama?

Quick History Lesson
“the most important election in U.S. history”
Try G. Washington’s. THAT was the most important one. At a distant, and I mean very distant second was Abe Lincoln’s. Everybody else’s, including the current occupant is a distant third and onward -let the unemployed PH. D. historians sort out that ranking… Without Washington, we have no country, that is why his is the most important.

Breaking news!!! Harrison responds to his critics:
“Hey, James ain’t changed,” said Harrison, whose longtime fear of flying may have played a role in his decision not to accompany his teammates to Washington. “I guess my profile did but I didn’t change. I’m not going because I don’t want to go.”

As a response to Harrison, when could Obama have invited pitt to the white house. He wasnt in office until January, and the Steelers were probably busy practicing for the playoffs then.

As a response to BradyQuinnisBeast, both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the office of President of the United States of America have been around for a bit longer than four months.

Then I have no idea what you’re talking about; please enlighten me. Because, from here, it looks like your grasp of time-space is a little weak.

as long as Harrison keeps doing what he does best
which is make sacks and fumbles, no one in the ’Burgh really gives a crap.
And BTW, I doubt Harrison or Woodley are too concerned about the rookie Oher. Let’s revisit the subject in November.
