Maybe older but not wiser? 
The fact that the team does not want to buy into YOUR political view does not make it wrong.  Its a tradition,  I think he said it best, they went after their last win, and they get to go again after winning a championship once again. Good for them. The White House and its history is much greater than any sitting president on any given day.
United by sports, not politics. 
I usually find it more amusing when the sitting president attempts to demonstrate that they actually know anything about hockey. I imagine this president will be no exception. Leave Sid the kid alone. Despite your political rambling, he will indeed be remembered and respected for the rest of his life.
