'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.

"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."

Football derived from rugby, and baseball derived from cricket. Golf was invented in Scotland. Hockey probably goes back to somewhere in Europe. Soccer has been played by hundreds of thousands of kids in this country for decades. What difference does it make where a sport was first invented?

It takes a man to make a man; ask any of the Freepers here. You don’t qualify, 0bvmmer, so no dice there.

You wrote to 1rudeboy, "You apparently feel so compelled to play the part of agitator".

1rudeboy's "About" page says only this: No, I do not respect you. You spend far too much time here.

You appear to have properly categorized him.

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

ince obama is from a 3rd world country, let the kid play a 3rd world game.

Socker should be outlawed in this country!

Next time you see the movie, “Ghost”, (Demi Moore), look at Whoopie Goldberg and how she walks. The bow-legged nature of both point to scurvy or some-such pathology. It is a crude ambulation.
