NFL Star Refuses White House Meeting Because Obama Said, “God Bless Plan Parenthood”

Two days before the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens were scheduled to receive their long-awaited Super Bowl Rings, the team and it’s ownership continued one of the great traditions within American sports and took a visit to the White House to meet with the President of the United States…

But there was one player absent from Wednesday’s festivities who remains on good terms with the team, is not tied up with OTAs or Mini Camps but simply declined his invitation for other reasons.

Retired Ravens center and former Minnesota Vikings center (1998-2008) [Matt Birk] shared that he declined the president’s invitation after having issue with some of the President’s recent comments…

I couldn’t endorse that in any way.”
