1. Poor guy, suffering a double dose of humiliation

First he gets invited to the White House, and if that isn't bad enough now he's surrounded by the evil taunts. Like I said, poor guy.

2. Activism comes in many forms. Glad to see fans speaking up!

3. From a Bruins fan--the pompous little asshole deserved it!

How dare he humiliate the team AND the fans by making shit all about him? Narcissistic little pisher! No one gives a shit about him--he shouldn't try to be the center of attention so often!

I think the B's fans should give him shit, too!

5. I watched the game last night and the commentators remarked on it.

Thomas deserves the derision...pretty insulting snub on his part. As a Bruin's hockey fan, I have to say that I hope they win another championship. I wonder if Tim will snub Obama a second time?

6. They should pelt him with teabags after every goal he gives up

Kinda like hats.

7. Better yet, they should throw out hats with tea bags attached to them

Especially those costume hats teabaggers sport at their astroturf rallies.
