As is the tradition for MLS Cup champions, the Colorado Rapids got their chance to meet President Obama on Monday. The team swung by the White House after losing to the Columbus Crew 4-1 to the day before. Obama spoke about the team and actually managed to sound reasonably well-versed (or at least well briefed) on the team and the league, according to a report at MLSsoccer.com:
President Obama Meets With Colorado Rapids
“They may not be household names, but the great thing about sports is that in the end, that doesn’t really matter,” said the Commander-in-Chief. “What matters is how well a team can pull together when the chips are down, and that’s exactly what the Rapids did.
“This team had the second-worst record of any team in the playoffs last year, but they showed up in close games, they clawed back from behind, they just kept on winning and, when the clock ran out, the Rapids were the best team in American soccer.”
