Why does the media portray Obama as a huge sports fan?

The yearly presidential bracket has me pondering this.
Obama is made out to be the world's biggest sports fan when he can't name a player off of the White Sox and he isn't athletic at all. (Throwing like a girl, clanking layups, etc.)
He's obviously not the first president to like sports. (If he even does)
Does it simply come down to the black basketball stereotype?

Not in my opinion, it's just the cult of personality.

I'm pretty sure presidents before him did the bracket as well. Even if not, who cares? It's not that big of a deal.

It plays well with certain Dem voters.
Nothing more.
Well ... it also pisses off those of us who didn't vote for Obama ... so, we raise hell ... and then the Obama people can pull the patented card.

Just another way for the obsessed media to paint Obama as "cool" for the younger kids. Other presidents may have done brackets but how many of them were given their own segment on sports center?

He is really big into golf.

Remember when he could not name one member of th White Sox? And he calld the Sox stadium Cominsky Field?

Talking about March Madness and his bracket is about the only thing Obama can do without stuttering and without his TOTUS.
He almost sounds knowledgeable on a topic.
I bet he spends hours and hours on it.
The rest of the time ... I imagine he's kinda like Tommy Boy ... sitting in the Oval Office ... talking in the fan like Darth Vader.
Oh wow ... on TV now ... Lebron James telling everyone to sign up for Obamacare. LMAO.
Money well spent!

"Because they're in the tank for him and it's part of a conspiracy by the biased media to make him look good."
There's the answer you came looking for, which conveniently reinforces everything you already believe.

America loves sports=BHO loving sports.

I think him getting alot of public support from many athletes also has something to do with it.

I'm not sure of the validity of that "portrayal"
I only see it at this time each year and the "sports media" would love to have any sitting president do the bracket pick thing.
Obama will do it...so, "they" will show it.

He's a decent basketball player dude, that's the sport he likes. I don't see this as the media doing anything. His bother in law is a major D 1 college coach for Petes sake. Your reaching for reasons now, but why when there's plenty of real reasons to dislike it make fun of him? Is it you're not intellectually independent?

Hes a decent basketball player?? 
I wish i had the gif of him missing all those layups
