PITTSBURGH (AP) -Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison says he can’t believe there’s so much fuss being made about him skipping the Super Bowl champions’ White House visit with President Barack Obama on Thursday.
Harrison will bypass the traditional ceremony, just as he did when the Steelers were honored by President George W. Bush at the White House in June 2006.
Harrison was a backup when the Steelers won the Super Bowl during the 2005 season, but was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year last season. His 100-yard interception return during Pittsburgh’s 27-23 victory over Arizona is the longest scoring play in Super Bowl history.
