Three ’72 Dolphins skip White House visit for political reasons


As a Dolphins fan, I am kind of disgusted by this. This is to celebrate the TEAM, not who they voted for in the last election.

Former Dolphins guard Bob Kuechenberg, center Jim Langer and defensive tackle Manny Fernandez all told Dave Hyde of the Sun Sentinel that they don’t want to appear alongside a president whose policies they don’t support.

No, it's not "to celebrate the TEAM". It's a photo op for Obummer.

2. Thank heavens, it's three guys I never heard of anyway!

WTF was Kuechenberg, Langer and Fernandez? They're just three NOBODIES trying to make a point

They played the only perfect year ever all the way to the Super Bowl in the NFL. You should be such a "nobody". What have you accomplished?

3. Old joyless goofballs

Who cares about their little POV's? They're rejecting their team more than anything else.

No, they're not. There are plenty of venues in which the '72 Dolphins have reunited and been honored. They just choose not to participate in this one.

8. LOL! I'm sure the President and his family are absolutely devastated because some old weeshers

are not attending the party.

"old" They love to bring in the ageism when it's someone they hate, as if they are never going to grow old. And it's not about trying to "devastate" anyone. They're just acting on their conscience. You should try it some time, if you have one.

Yeah, you know those old white guys. Gotta be racism.  :whatever:

As I read this, NBC TV Evening News is doing a bit on it....and surprise, surprise no mention that some didn't attend.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

This is something a DUchebag will never come into contact with, integrity.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

It seems that the DUmp follows the following for anyone who doesn't agree with them:

Skin color lighter than chocolate = white and racist.
Skin color the same as chocolate or darker = Uncle Tom rejecting his culture.

If i was invited to the White House, say for a Beer Summit when the obozo wants to get his mug into some sort of a local issue, it would be my great pleasure to tell the WH press secretary's office to go to hell.

I have to admit I would record the exchange and send it to Rush, Sean, etc.  I mean, I get to have a LITTLE fun, right?

BTW primitives, I would have loved to watch you idiots take on Manny Fernandez in his prime on the football field. He would have pummeled you dolts into the ground like the scum you are. Good chance he could still do it now.

Interesting trivia questions regarding the 72 dolphins.

What was the nickname for their defense, and why ?

Who was the captain of the defense, and what college did he attend ?

I wonder if the person in question decided to boycott owebuma. If he did I would have even more respect for him.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Yeah, three nobodies who were more responsible for the undefeated season than either QB or Czonka or Kiick.  Kuechenberg is not a nobody, BTW Asshat.
