The
WNBA's Detroit Shock made a very special visit to the White House this
week to celebrate their status as the reigning WNBA Champions. Tiger
Woods, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and even the Chicago White Sox made
visits there as well over the last month to celebrate their recent
successes. But while Tiger Woods had an exclusive sit down dinner with
President Obama, the Detroit Shock arrived to find their names not on
the guest list.
"Detroit Shock...Is that an arena football team?" asked the front desk, as the girls tried to get in to see the President.
They
informed them that they were a real team, and even showed the people at
the desk pictures of them from last year's finals. But security refused
to believe that the people in the pictures were actual women playing
basketball instead of female faces photoshopped on NBA players.
The
team was then told it could get into the White House with the free tour
that is conducted to the public, so they opted to do that. They learned
a great deal about the historic furniture that graces the various rooms
of the White House, and even got to see the outside of the oval office,
where the President may or may not have been at that time. They weren't
allowed to know for sure due to security reasons.
