Seems Like He Invited The Wrong Team

From the Chicago Tribune: President Barack Obama, the nation’s most prominent basketball fan, on Thursday will meet in the Oval Office with members of Loyola University’s 1963 NCAA championship team, a White House official said.
The team from Chicago, featuring four African-American starters, is remembered for a game that helped promote racial integration in college basketball.
In a regional semifinal en route to the title, the Ramblers met an all-white team from Mississippi State that had defied its state’s governor, who opposed playing against integrated teams.
Mississippi State’s team got out of state before the governor could arrange an injunction, then played Loyola in the semifinal, held at Michigan State. Loyola triumphed 61-51 in the matchup, later dubbed “The Game of Change.”  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-obama-to-welcome-loyolas-1963-team-to-white-house-20130710,0,48506.story
Loyola didn't do anything brave but the Mississippi State players and coaches went against their governor and probably the public wishes and they avoided an injunction by fooling the governor by leaving early for the game.  They also didn't know what to expect when they got back home.
But Obama has a history of backing the wrong team- just ask The Muslim Brotherhood and former dictator Morsi in Egypt.
