This morning the NCAA Division I (a.k.a. FBS) football national champion Auburn Tigers visited the White House in Washington, D.C. After President Barack Obama gave his congratulatory press conference, he made the rounds by shaking hands with the players.
Apparently a handshake with the President wasn't good enough for Auburn assistant head coach Trooper Taylor. He wanted a little more, so Taylor made the bold move of asking President Obama "Can I get a chest bump?"
Surprisingly, President Obama obliged with Taylor's chest bump request. The chest bump between President Obama and Trooper Taylor certainly raises the bar for all college and professional championship team White House visits from this point forward. Does this mean the president has to greet all foreign dignitaries in the same fashion now?
And what does this do for Taylor's ego? If he can get the President of the United States to give him a chest bump, is there nothing that Trooper Taylor can't do?
