President Obama also seemed to want to honor the champions and he invited them to the White House in October 2015. He spoke very proudly of the athletes and remarked, “They’ve inspired millions of girls to dream bigger and, by the way, inspired millions of boys to look at girls differently, which is just as important.” He then added, “This team taught all America’s children that playing like a girl means you’re a bad ass.”
