The National Football League has become an arm of the Obama administration with its partnership with Obama's "United We Serve" program.
A video posted by the Obama administration to YouTube this week that is planned to air during broadcasts of the NFL's Thanksgiving Day games shows Barack Obama playing football on the White House lawn.
The one-minute-thirty-second propaganda video is entitled, President Obama, United We Serve, and the NFL Team Up for Fitness and Service and is described by the administration on the site:
In support of his United We Serve initiative, President Obama and NFL stars Drew Brees, DeMarcus Ware, and Troy Polamalu team up to highlight the importance of fitness for America's children. The NFLs Play 60 initiative stresses that young people can live a healthy lifestyle by engaging in 60 minutes of physical activity a day. The Presidents United We Serve initiative encourages all Americans to get engaged in their communities and help create a brighter future for our nations youth through service.
The video weaves in footage of football on the South Lawn of the White House with other football and service imagery.
Obama is seen in ultra-slow-motion running to make a finger-tip catch from the Saints' Brees and then lateraling the ball to a child.
The National Obama Football League blends Kennedy-esque iconography with 21st century video wizardry to make Obama appear as a heroic athlete.
The video closes with an invitation to "join the movement at NFLRUSH.com."
Looks like the NFL will be missing a few fans on Turkey Day, including this former fan.
Since they dissed Rush, I can’t force myself to give a damn.
Can we not have one damn day without this clown appearing on TV and sermonizing to us about “community service”......mind you, this is community service for the GOVERNMENT that he is advocating.
K, I haven’t watched NFL for the past month or so...ever since Goodell’s lameass comments about Rush.
I also pitched most of my NFL apparel...and I do not miss it one bit.
The NFL can cram it, and their worship with Obama just solidifies my resolve to ignore them.
Serve Government? They’ve got it backwards!
Serve what?
Jesus Christ! Obama is like Chickenman! “He’s everywhere! He’s everywhere!”
Well the Thanksgiving day games are usually boring anyway so given the Turkey in Chief’s appearance I think I’ll read a book instead.
Bet he doesn't know if its blown-up or filled with feathers.
I agree — I have given up on pro football. It is nothing but a bunch of overpaid crybabies. Guy makes 8 million a year and fumbles the ball. The guy making 12 million drops a pass that should be caught. Want to enjoy good football?
Watch a great college game. The NFL can kiss my a - -
for not allowing Rush but allowing a bunch of “cons” to participate in the sport.
The NFL is a thugocracy just like the Obama government.
This explains why the Afganistan pronouncements have to wait till after Thanksgiving.
I recommend Going Rogue by Sarah Palin.
That sound you hear will be the male population throwing down their beers and slamming their front doors.
Where’s the poster who puts up, “I’m An Attention Whore”
because it really fits Zero.
