  They didn’t travel to the white house expecting or hoping for “casual”. They got cold fast food because the entire government had been shut down.

    They went because they felt they had to

    Anything that makes it more casual and less of an obligation is a good thing

      This reflects more of your opinion about obligations, or how you would feel in this situation, than anything else.

  If I just won a national championship and was invited to the White House, I wouldn’t think, “I hope this is a casual affair.”

    Well you probably never accomplished anything but most people, especially kids would rather party

      So you think Trump saying, “there’s a partial government shutdown, so we can’t give you a fancy catered dinner full of the fanciest food you’re ever likely to eat in your life because it is literally made for the world’s royalty, but instead I’ve dug deep into my rich man pockets and spent $3000 on some room temperature Big Macs and Chick-Fil-A” is something that would appeal to them? Yeah, I guess you’re right. I mean it’s not like you’d want to be treated like a king after winning a national championship. Much better to have to travel to DC at the team’s expense and have the president buy them the worst possible burger he could have bought them.

      But sure, it’s because I’ve never accomplished anything that I wouldn’t understand why someone would be honored to eat a Big Mac paid for out of Trump’s generous pockets when he could have had lobster flown in fresh from Maine. Or, I don’t know, catered well-made burgers from a good burger place. I’m guessing D.C. has one or two local places that might just possibly taste a little better than what they’ve got at McDonald’s.

        Much better would be drinking all night and not going at all

        how did you get “honoured to eat a burger” from “not as big a deal as people make it”
