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.

That wouldn’t be cricket, though.

(Ah, we must shun cruel and unusual pun-ishment.)

His wife could play linebacker.

What do you have against he-man football heros?

Football isn’t as rough as it used to be. Half the bulk out on the field is armor now.

[faithhopecharity]

of course not, Football (as we know it in USA) is an American game, not Kenyan or Indonesian (or Klingon).

Maybe he thinks it's a zero-based array, like in C#. Post 0 would be the first, 1 would be the second.

If that was his thought he would clearly be wrong, in which case he could have just admitted his error and moved on. But he lacked the character to do so and chose instead to continue to attempt to foist responsibility for his error onto another. He failed.

[thackney]

my thoughts as well

It displays his attitude.

She walks and stands like a linebacker.

The “wide stance” alert, LOL

“Maybe he’ll let the poor kid play soccer.”

Something WRONG with soccer???

[Gay State Conservative]

But he'd surely let him snort Bolivian Marching Powder.Like father,like son.

I haven’t read the thread yet, but I’ll bet the jokes are writing themselves....

[Dick Bachert]

I guess quality time for obozo and his non-existent son would be a tour of some of Chicago’s sleazier bath houses.

It's not an American sport. More of a sport of the world, you know, the way Obama sees us as one of many as opposed to exceptional.

[bikerman]

His son's are out playing the knock out game, shooting, murdering, selling drugs all the good things in your mind liar.

[1rudeboy]

Neither of you appear to be familiar with internet memes. And there’s nothing wrong with that . . . my original comment was directed toward neither of you, either.

[beelzepug]

America does have some exceptional soccer players. :o)

[drunknsage]

I take it your boyfriend isn’t a fan of football either.

[CatherineofAragon]

"I take it your boyfriend isn’t a fan of football either."

Why, because I called Obama a fag?

Okay.
