WASHINGTON — President Biden briefly wore a football helmet Friday during a celebration of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl championship — in a bizarre callback to 1988 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis’ infamous photo-op of himself wearing a helmet atop a military tank.
“Put it on!” Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce goaded the president after head coach Andy Reid and owner Clark Hunt presented the 81-year-old president with the autographed gift on the White House lawn.
Biden, who had just delivered brief remarks congratulating the team, held the helmet above his head and attempted to do exactly that — initially smacking the headgear on his aviator sunglasses, which he had to remove as the team members roared behind him.

He was going to play football at the Naval Academy, wasn’t he? So he should know something about football helmets.

Brandon SHOULD be wearing a helmet every day, based upon how often he falls down.

He probably first put the helmet on backwards, but that part was deleted by his “most merciful” reporters.
To: conservative98
He was invited to play football for the naval academy. I’m surprised he doesn’t know how to pull on a helmet. S/

Talk about useless. A helmet designed to protect the President’s brain.

Brandon doesn't even recognize todays helmets. He has probably not even worn one since his 1960's pee wee football team. But that valued experience was enough to get his Navel Academy Scholarship offer.
