"If I had a son I would have to think long and hard before I let him play football." That's the newest quote from President Obama that's drawing fire. Let's try to understand this though, he's already said if he had a son that his son would look like Trayvon Martin. Trayvon Martin was a tough kid so I don't think football would have been a problem for him. Just let the hypothetical kid play! Obama has been talking about this fake son more than once now, is it a hoax? Who's pretending to be the son on the phone?
The hypocrisy in what the President said has to deal with the fact that he already has daughters which means playing football is not even an option on the table for them, but serving on the front lines of the military is? If women can go into battle for the country in Afghanistan they should be able to do the same in the Super Bowl. The sad thing is that the NFL is more exclusive and important to Americans than the actual armed forces of the military. No way would the NFL let a woman in! This is serious business!
