For the record, I lean left. The majority of you probably believe it’s a great idea for the government to use tax dollars and spend time cracking down on PEDs.

@thekingdave…
Your comment may have been taken out of context, but the real issue is with that other jackwagon who thinks that the president is a “celeberty” when he follows tradition. Who cares? I’ll bet the Mavericks do.

I’m referring to Kurt’s insinuation at the end of the post that Obama get involved with the CBA negotiations. Morons.

I’d imagine they’d be visiting the Queen or the Prime Minister of Canada there buddy

Seriously? There are literally multiple comments refuting the same exact thing you just said in this very comment thread, and you still post this tripe? You don’t do much critical thinking, do you? Just a bunch of torch-bearing herp-derp BS it seems like from that comment.

Let me spell it out for you, slowly. This is a tradition. Every president does it. It probably took all of 5-10 minutes.

If you really think the 5 minutes he spent calling Carlisle would magically fix the country… well, you need to step away from the computer and TV *coughFoxNewscough* and say hello to the real world.

Dude have you ever heard the word tradition? The President of the United States no matter his party affiliation always contacts the Champion of each major professional and college sport and offer his congratulations. Plus these are the sports page. If you feel you must deal with economic issues then leave your comments on the pages of the Wall Street Journal. Lighten up and enjoy the moment

Wow. The President of the United States follows his predecessors in a very nice tradition, and this makes him not only a “celeberty” but a fricken bum as well. Amazing.

Who the hell cares! If he spent more time fixing our country than he does commentating basketball (in which he sucks) we would actually be alright as a country! I hope our next president is not a celeberty! Fricken bum!!!!

As opposed to, say, continuing to talk to kindergartners for 25 minutes after you’ve just been told that the World Trade Center had been flown into intentionally and blown up by terrorists? Get a grip man, partisanship is one thing, but that comment is just embarrassing.

@thekingdave,
I bet when you get pulled over for speeding you whine and complain and ask cops why they are not out arresting murderers.

This is a tradition that every president does every year. There is no need for you to get so upset. I seriously doubt Obama will close wall street so he can watch a game.

Yes, because he can’t spare five minutes for a phone call.

I think the President is better served addressing the impending collapse of the United States financial system versus making sure millionaires continue to bounce a round ball and put it in a hoop.

If we woke up on Bizarro World tomorrow, and Toronto won the title, would they get invited to the White House?
