Obama: "I would not let my son play pro football"

He cites concussions as the reason and compares pro football players to smokers:

President Obama said that he believed NFL players “know what they’re doing” and understood the impact that concussions could have on their long-term health in an interview with The New Yorker published on Sunday, adding that he would not let his son play pro football.
“At this point, there’s a little bit of caveat emptor,” Obama said. “These guys, they know what they’re doing. They know what they’re buying into. It is no longer a secret. It’s sort of the feeling I have about smokers, you know?”

Too bad George Zimmerman already killed his son

Funny considering Obama still smokes.

I really wish he would just shut the ever loving frick up sometimes. True to his ego, he believes everyone is waiting with bated breath for his "take" on any topic imaginable.

Well, considering his wildebeest wife, his daughters may well be able to play D-line.

When will Obama stop pushing his agenda on issues that he has no business doing?

Not a bad analogy. The only exception being that the football players get paid big bucks to ruin their health and smokers don't get paid to ruin theirs.

You have apparently missed all the articles about AP and other independent photographers are bitching about how the only photos of Obama that are out there are the ones the WH releases taken by their own photographers.
Google: white house, propaganda, photographs

He asked about it during an interview

After seeing clips of Obama playing basketball, I don't think he would have to worry about his pretend son playing professional sports.

I wouldn't let my son play football either, fwiw
