President Biden helped celebrate the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs at the White House, trying on the team helmet the players gave him.
President Biden welcomed the Kansas City Chiefs to the White House on Friday, lauding the back-to-back Super Bowl champion team as showing sportsmanship on and off the field, and breaking an unofficial political rule about headwear. He tried on a Chiefs helmet the team gave him as a gift. Politicians have typically shied away from helmets and the like after presidential candidate Michael S. Dukakis' much-mocked 1988 turn in a battle tank wearing a large, high-tech helmet.
” “‘This team is exceptional,” the president said, adding that the country as a whole must “do more to stop the tragic shootings before they happen.” Biden recognized the Chiefs after their come-from-behind overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in February. It's a long-standing tradition for championship sports teams, both professional and collegiate, to be invited to the White House.
