Nice gesture. Feels a bit like a participation trophy.
Any sports team visiting the White House is sort of dumb.
Remember - like taunting, it's only a participation trophy if the other team does it.
You can't turn that down but personally I don't like the precedent.
Who cares? If the President wants to invite the entire Final Four to the White House whatever. It’s up to them and the teams can decide if they want to go. This is one of the dumber traditions we have in sports imo.
I mean the numbers around the game speak volumes so acknowledging the movement these two teams had in advancing the women’s game is note worthy.
Anyone getting up in arms about this needs to find a hobby or two.

You know how dogs roll in something stinky to cover up their own scent? This is kinda like that.
I seriously think the woman from LSU wants to fight Clark. She’s been going off on Twitter all day. “Rumble In The Rose Garden”.
They LOST the frickin game......has any other loser of a game been invited or attended the white house.....I DON'T THINK SO.
So, damn tired of this CC and sukeye ****.....

Everyone invited except Angel and Caitlin, because you know....you can't see them.
It is dumb. This tradition needs to go away.
