Barack Obama hosts Broncos at White House
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama welcomed the Denver Broncos to the White House on Monday afternoon to celebrate the team’s 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.
Several members of Colorado’s congressional delegation joined the team at the ceremony, including Sens. Michael Bennet and Cory Gardner. The Broncos’ visit is the latest in a decades-long tradition of champions getting the presidential treatment.
In that same vein, the squad brought its own gift: a Broncos helmet autographed by the team, and a No. 44 jersey the team presented to the president.
