One Year Late

I think it's nice that the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins team will meet with President Obama on August 20th. It will be a photo opportunity more than anything.

I wonder why they didn't do it last year on the 40th anniversary of the season. Was it because of the election? Would that have made the players appear as supporters of Obama if they met with him during the campaign?

It doesn't really matter at this point. I think it's great that the team is getting the attention it deserves. The 1972 season was a great moment in NFL history. Younger fans need to be aware of that team.

The Pats put them in the spotlight in 2007 when they had an undefeated regular season before losing to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.
