Jill Biden wants to invite both LSU and Iowa basketball teams to the White House

[Goodheart]

OK, now, I love Jill Biden. Fantastic lady. Fantastic first lady.

But come on, now. This is not how this is supposed to work.

I'm an LSU grad and Baton Rouge resident, but I would have stated the same if Iowa had won. Hopefully the Iowa team will decline.

1. Wonderful.

Generous and kind. The Bidens - respected and classy.

[Goodheart]

2. :)

I won't lose any sleep over this.

10. No. With all due respect to the First Lady, the losers should not be allowed...

to horn in on the winner's moment. There are no participation trophies in major college sports.

The winners get the WH trip.

[Elessar Zappa]

15. Agree.

It’s LSU’s moment.

3. I'm an Iowa guy, but I don't think this is a good idea.

LSU not only won, they kicked Iowa’s butt. Let them celebrate as the champions without putting the team they beat on an equal footing.

If this does go forward, don’t do the visits at the same time.

4. What I think doesnt matter

But the Iowa team captured my attention this year ( I'm a UW grad) , which led to an interest in NCAA womens basketball in general. The womens final four was awesome! Much better than the Mens IMO

I think I am not alone. The ratings for the game were the highest ever.

So history in the making, I reckon.

5. They're still trying to get rid of Trump's leftover hamberders

6. NOPE!! Not a good call. The winner takes it all. nt

9. Why?

[brush]

13. We don't do participation trophies in major college sports.

Why should the losers share the winners moment in the
WH?

7. They walked it back.

There was a lot of push back, especially in the black community.

[Deuce]

12. Good...

8. 3 on 3 rematch in the Rose Garden! Stream it for some charity.

11. Goodheart, GEAUX Tigers!

Fellow LSU grad here.

[Goodheart]

14. GEAUX TIGERS!

[FlyingPiggy]

16. I love Jill Biden but, no. Winners go to the WH.

Losers try again next year. This is a pity invite and I hope Iowa has enough self respect to say no.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

17. Participation trophy? Nope, she just cancelled Iowa's invitation! Huh
