So in his explanation he says he was going to send it to Obama as part of a gift package that included his new book. He wanted to spread the word of Blue Nation into the White House. If that is true, then his teaser post picture of him and the jersey makes no sense. "Hey, look what present I am sending the President." What?
I think he was making an attempt at being a huge p r i c k by showing how confident he is that UK is going to win the National Championship in men's bb this year. Where does the National Champ team visit after winning the championship? The White House. What does the National Champ team present to the President at that time? Ahh, a team jersey with the President's name on the back.
That is supreme confidence and I give him mega points for that. However, it appears that the negative publicity has caused him to back off the true reason for teasing UK fans with the pic in the first place. His given explanation is weak and doesn't add up.
