Usually, the White House celebration is reserved for the winners of championships, and even as a spokesperson for the first lady said Biden meant no respect toward the LSU team, Reese will not accept an apology.

“I’m not gonna lie to you, I don’t accept the apology because of, you said what you said. … I said what I said. And like, you can’t go back on certain things that you say,” Reese said Tuesday on the “Paper Route” podcast. “I mean, you like felt like they should’ve came because of sportsmanship, right? They can have that spotlight. We’ll go to the Obamas, we’ll see Michelle, we’ll see Barack.”

When asked whether the Tigers would visit the White House, Reese said, “We’re gonna see. I don’t know.”

[Maybe we should just dispense with the traditional White House visit for champions. What’s the point, anyway, except to get a brief moment of reflected glory onto the politician living there at the time? Presidents have more important matters, and for that matter, so do athletes. And so do the Obamas — Ed]
