    People make this out to be worse than it is, it’s not a big deal and probably better for the players in the sense that it makes the event more casual

      They didn’t travel to the white house expecting or hoping for “casual”. They got cold fast food because the entire government had been shut down.

      If I just won a national championship and was invited to the White House, I wouldn’t think, “I hope this is a casual affair.”
