OSU team captain gave Obama bunny ears during White House photo
Ohio State team captain Michael Bennett gave President Obama bunny ears during their team photo at the White House.
And his now deleted tweet:
Did the bunny ears show up on TV or was it too late?

I really doubt Obama gives a shit, but yes let's rip the kid for showing "disrespect" because he plays for a team we don't like. Give me a break.
If our guys were there and one of them did this, we'd think it was great.

I wouldn't think it was great. I wouldn't flip out or think about it much after reading about it, but I wouldn't think it was great.
I am not even going to try and say it's disrespectful, since it appears that the President is ok with it from other pictures. More so, I just hate Ohio State, therefore by association, this is just wrong. But then again, if an Ohio State player saved a puppy from a burning building I would be mad he didn't save the puppy sooner since the puppy probably inhaled some smoke...Gotta love rivalries...

That shit would never fly in North Korea
I'm 28, and I think it's disrespectful.

but my opinion on the matter has nothing to do with the fact that it was a buckeye who did it. Think of it in terms of a Michigan player doing it to Harbaugh in the official team picture.
and I don't give a shit either way.

Oh for fuck's sake.
(Yes, by commenting I'm kinda part of the problem.) Sure, it's amateurish and not really a great look, but do we really expect an OSU player to know better? This is harmless, juvenile fun that even Obama himself gives zero fucks about and if you say it's because he disrespects the office of the the presidency and America in general than go pound sand.
At any rate, a third (fourth? fifth?) thread on this kerfuffle is pretty much DJ Byrnes-level aggrievement.
I think Reagan started it, and Presidents have been doing it ever since.
What the hell does the President have to do with an NCAA football champion?
I've been thinking they're old for a long time. But just saw it goes back at least to Andrew Jackson who brought in baseball teams. Really don't like "catching up" to bring in teams that didn't get to do it back in the day ... and I'm a Bears fan.
