9 Reasons Why Politicians Shouldn’t Play Sports… Unless They’re Barack Obama

9 Reasons Why Politicians Shouldn’t Play Sports… Unless They’re Barack Obama

Posted on
June 19, 2015
by Kaitlyn Goodman

We already know some politicians have embraced the dad-bod, but clearly there are politicians who haven’t gotten the message. There’s a reason why politicians are not athletes (unless you’re Barack Obama) and we found 7 politicians who explain why that is:

1. Vice President Dick Cheney Hunting

Go hunting with Dick Cheney and you will literally get shot in the face. And then he will make you apologize to him about it. 

2. President George H.W. Bush Bowling

President George H.W. Bush should be happy that Al Gore waited until after Bush’s presidency to invent the Internet because we are pretty sure this would have broken the Internet.

Luckily Mr. Bush avoided breaking any bones (and the Internet) in this unfortunate sporting slip.

4. Governor Chris Christie Playing Baseball

We think this picture speaks for itself, but that doesn’t mean we won’t comment further. Governor, baseball is not the sport for you. May we suggest a more passive activity like bowling… or watching bowling.

4. Senator Harry Reid Working Out

Even though Senator Harry Reid used to be an amateur boxer, he was no match for his last opponent – the elliptical. Luckily the embarrassment of falling off the elliptical is counterbalanced by the coolness of hipster sunglasses.

5. John Kerry Riding a Bike

Recently, Secretary of State John Kerry broke his right femur in a cycling accident in Scionzier, France.

We wish the Secretary a speedy recovery so he can get back to playing football (see below).

6. John Kerry (again) Playing Football

politicians-playing-sports-john-kerry-football
Really, John Kerry?

7. Third Time’s A Charm – John Kerry Windsurfing

Too bad for Secretary Kerry that I Agree to See wasn’t around during the 2004 presidential campaign to warn him about the perils of politicians playing sports. Not only could he have avoided many years of injuries and humiliation, but he could have also avoided this devastating attack ad… and maybe won the presidency (or not…)

8. President Bill Clinton and Al Gore Jogging

Bill Clinton’s run to McDonald’s was so awkward that it became the inspiration for one of Saturday Night Live’s most brilliant sketches.

9. President George W. Bush on a Segway

Although Segway-ing is not officially a sport yet, we still couldn’t help but include it.

Exception to the Rule: Barack Obama

Game over.
