Obama: "If I had a son, I wouldnt let him play football"

[thunderraiden]

Lol, you're going to have to link this. I just have a hard time he went all the way and said "WOULDN'T LET" on Super Bowl week.

Why?

They aren't going to be pro athletes, they will need their noggins.

I only said its my choice as a parent not to let my kids play football. I'm not judging others... Unlike you.

Probably not. Tall and lanky. I'm leaning towards basketball and swimming.

[Riverboat Ron]

Reason I wouldn't want my future son playing football...

Op is not quoting this accurately and it should have an altered title or be locked. Why would you post this BS when its not true?
