I’m not so sure that Obama is knowledgeable when talking about sports.
He was talking to baseball announcers one day, and said the White Sox were his favorite team. But he couldn’t name a single favorite player, past or present.
And, he also at that time, said he went to games at old “Cominskey Park”, pronouncing it with an “N” in it. Every real baseball fan knows that the White Sox played at “Comiskey Park”, with no “N” in it.
In that case, he just showed his ignorance about baseball and the White Sox, rather than showing that he was a real fan of the team.
Just as a side note; as a life-long Sox fan myself, that was one of the happiest Obama stories I’d ever heard once it came out
That line will show up on DU and Huf'n'Puf, out of context, as an example of FR racism!
