After winning their fourth WNBA championship in seven years last October, the Lynx are still waiting on the customary White House invitation, coach Cheryl Reeve said at practice on Wednesday afternoon. She added that former President Barack Obama contacted the team immediately after it won the WNBA championship in 2011, 2013 and 2015.

“It’s certainly disappointing,” Reeve said. “It was really special with the other WNBA championships that we won to be able to get the word that we were going to get a phone call from the White House. And the players that were still in town, we could gather and it was something special to share with our players to have the President of the United States calling us and congratulating us and then at the end of the call saying he’d like to have us at the White House to celebrate.”

Traditionally, any team that wins a major championship gets invited to the White House, though that has become a point of contention since President Donald Trump took office.

For example, the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles still are discussing whether they will attend, according to the New York Times, and Trump actually rescinded his invite to the NBA champion Golden State Warriors after superstar Stephen Curry said the team was considering a boycott of the visit.

Still, other teams, like the World Series champion Houston Astros, have accepted the invitation. They attended the White House back in March with a couple of players deciding to skip the visit.

Interestingly enough, the Astros won the World Series right around the same time the Lynx captured the WNBA championship.

“I feel like the the trend certainly is that women’s sports aren’t recognized in the same way that men’s sports are,” Reeve said. “That’s the unfortunate pattern. We don’t want to believe that that’s the case. It’s hard not to think that when the Astros have (won the World Series) and been there and we’ve gotten no communication.”

It’s believed that the Lynx are the only major sports team to win a championship and not receive a White House invite.

If the Lynx were to get an invite at some point, it would be a team decision as to whether or not they would attend.

“We haven’t talked about it as a group,” Reeve said, adding the Lynx would go as a team or not at all. “We always gather the core group and say, ‘OK. What do we want to do? Does the timing look right?’ It’d be no different if it happens this time.”

“There’s obviously more to talk about this time,” Reeve added. “I’d want to make sure that we’re really thoughtful because that’s what champions do, they go to the White House. If there was a way that we could have that decision to make I don’t know where we would land. We obviously need the invite to come first.”
