Steelers Linebacker Also Skipped 2006 Visit
When the Super Bowl XLIII champion Pittsburgh Steelers make their trip to the White House Thursday, one of the players largely responsible for their victory over the Arizona Cardinals says he won’t be attending.
Linebacker James Harrison said he’ll pass on the invite from President Barack Obama.
WTAE Channel 4 Action News anchor Andrew Stockey caught up with the NFL Defensive Player of the Year at Friday’s Legends for Charity Gala hosted by University of Pittsburgh head football coach Dave Wannstedt.
“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.
Harrison also skipped the Steelers’ visit to the White House in 2006 following their victory in Super Bowl XL.
Editor’s Note: We think this is a missed opportunity.
