to move up and down
David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy paid a visit to the White House on Tuesday as U.S. President Barack Obama paid tribute to the 2011 MLS champions.
However, Obama could not resist making fun of Beckham and his underwear line, quipping: “He is tough. It is a rare man who can be that tough on the field and also have his own line of underwear. David Beckham is that man.”
U.S. President Barack Obama revealed his full NCAA bracket to ESPN on Wednesday, picking the University of North Carolina to take home the big prize.
“I like teams with good point guards because I think the ability to control the game and limit turnovers, I think that’s a big difference,” he told ESPN. “Being able to make free throws, that ends up counting a little bit. Other than that, it’s all throwing darts.”
Obama also gave British Prime Minister David Cameron a front-row seat to March Madness on Tuesday, taking his European partner to an election swing state for an NCAA tournament basketball game.
Tim Thomas refuses to visit White House
U.S. President Barack Obama hosted the Boston Bruins at the White House on Monday afternoon to celebrate their 2011 Stanley Cup victory, but veteran goaltender Tim Thomas declined to attend for political reasons, according to Sports Illustrated.
“I can require someone to attend a team event. If they don’t, I can suspend him,” Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli told the Boston Globe. “I’m not suspending Tim. Whatever his position is, it isn’t reflective of the Boston Bruins nor my own. But I’m not suspending him.” Photo: Jewel Samad/AFP/Getty Images
