'I would not let my son play football': Obama
The New York Post ^ | 1/19/2014 | Sean Piccoli

A football career would be out of bounds for any son of President Obama, who compared the game to smoking in an interview with The New Yorker.

“I would not let my son play pro football,” the First Fan said in a POTUS profile for the magazine’s Jan. 27 issue.

The president’s love of sports is well documented, and his favorite NFL team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. And while football’s escalating head-injury crisis is reason enough to keep a kid he doesn’t have off the field, it’s no reason to stop watching, he told Remnick.

Of course he wouldn't, he' wasn't raised here and is a wus. Maybe he'll let the poor kid play soccer.

I was hoping I could get in before the he-man football heroes, but sadly, I could not.

But he already did.

Obama steered his son toward revenue sports - burglary, assault, and dying in a manner that generates profit for the racial grievance industry.

Mine is the only post ahead of yours. Are you characterizing me as a "he-man football hero" and if so why? My post suggests no such thing.

It boggles my mind, that CTE is the single most existential crisis to affect any form of football in years, if not decades, and no one wants to acknowledge it.

Hypocrite. It’s too dangerous for his son but
not for others cause he likes to watch.

Disgusting.

#1 came before your comment. In any case, look at my comment #12. Beating your chests about it isn’t going to make it go away, folks.

I would scratch “assaulting a neighborhood watch volunteer” and put “attempting to murder a neighborhood watch volunteer”. Smashing someones head into cement is flat out attempted murder. Just doing it even once is enough to kill someone, it’s no different from stabbing someone - just doing it once is enough to kill.

Wouldn’t his “son” be an adult by then and be able to make his own decisions?

Sure he would, if the kid had Mochella’s well toned football arms.

So you were hoping to "get in before" the original poster who created the thread? Thanks for the clarification. I thought you were merely trying to live up your reputation of being an agitator.

And I was not beating my chest. Your comment made no sense so I merely asked for clarification. But you couldn't just answer. You had to prove, yet again, that you have issues. Good luck with that.
