Since Barack Obama seems to be a relatively athletic President it was time for me to dig deep and find some cool pictures of former (and current) U.S. Presidents trying their hands at some of our nation’s most popular sports. Actually I just ran a google search for each guy so it didn’t really take long at all. Still though, wasn’t it a nifty idea?
It’s always fun to see dudes that are running our country do things that make them look completely unathletic and discombobulated. That or when they are slapping the asses of athletic people.
Here are 15 classic pictures of U.S. Presidents and sports
The new Ford commercial staring Derek Jeter eerily resembles the Chrysler commercial featuring Eminem. One commercial is great, the other one sucks. I’m sure you can figure out which one I’m talking about. I guess that’s going to be the new trend now. A car maker is going to pick a rap song, have their vehicle drive around a big city, and make it suspenseful. What’s next? David Ortiz driving around in a mini-fan in Boston to the Fat Boys.
The NBA Draft takes place on Thursday night with teams picking from what seems to be a pretty shallow talent pool. If you look at last years draft only a select few from the lottery panned out in their first year. Now I know it’s early, but some prospects certainly don’t seem promising. I guess well find out what Ricky Rubio‘s got next year. With the draft coming up some teams are going to hit a home run, others are going to fall through.
Here are Unathletic’s Top 5 Prospects who we’ll promise they pan out……

It’s Michael Jordan and then a bunch of other guys. Just kidding. I still can’t believe Wilt averages 50 ppg one season. That’s mind-blowing. Pretty cool article though. Duncan makes the first round. Lebron goes second round!

Real or fake? The problem is the fast forwarding of some parts where the people move quickly makes it look more fake than real. Whether it’s fake or real doesn’t really matter, it’s pretty funny. Especially, the second part. I’d probably freak out a little bit if the dude told me it was the most poisonous snake in the world. Next time, ditch the phony Chinese dude, get rid of the fast forwarding, and make the audio a little clearer and you may win awards.
As if Rory McIlroy wasn’t getting enough attention for his play and his incredibly young and fun style on the golf course, I highly doubt that people even realized that barely a week before the U.S. Open he was helping out in Haiti.
From 7 to 8 June 2011, international golf star Rory McIlroy, in his first visit as a UNICEF Ireland Ambassador, travelled to Haiti to draw attention to the ongoing needs of children and families as a result the devastating January 2010 earthquake, and to view UNICEF-supported programmes. The quake killed 220,000 people and destroyed vital infrastructure; nearly 18 months after the disaster, over 810,000 people remain displaced. The situation is exacerbated by a cholera outbreak that has killed more than 5,000 people and sickened over 291,700. Mr. McIlroy met with quake-affected children and families and visited UNICEF-supported programme sites in and around Port-au-Prince, the capital. He visited a rebuilt school, where he participated in a hygiene education session on the importance of proper hand-washing to prevent the spread of cholera; a health and nutrition clinic providing cholera treatment services in addition to information on proper nutrition and feeding, health check-ups and growth-monitoring; and a child-friendly space providing a safe play environment for nearly 200 children.
Look, I’m not trying to compare this guy to Tiger. I don’t think anyone should. But seriously. He’s only 22 and clearly seems like a great guy. Hell, even the getting wasted from the Open trophy is a good thing because it shows the dude can get loose. What happens in his future remains to be seen but this guy definitely gives off a Tim Tebow vibe if you ask me.
And his potential is far greater.
Tyra fuggin’ Banks man. I would seriously be willing to debate that at one brief point in the history of this world Tyra Banks was the hottest woman on the planet. I know she went through her weight issues, but I couldn’t care less. She’s just awesome. That polkadot bikini shoot changed my life. She also did a ten year anniversary for that shoot!

Every year around the middle of the summer the same debate arises. Should fans be voting in MLB All-Star players, or any sport league for that matter? A couple weeks ago Bleacher Report addressed the same issue, with a resounding “no” for an answer. We here at Unathletic have to agree, and state for the record, it’s time the MLB Fan voting experience goes…
The NL All-Star ballots seem are acceptable to me. I take issue with the outfield. Matt Kemp should be the leading vote getter if it was purely based on statistics. As it stands now, he is fifth. The other positions I can accept, with third base going to Polanco by default. The AL All-Star ballot is the Yankees starting lineup. Tex over Adrian Gonzalez? Joke. Tex has been great, but Gonzo’s numbers are probably the best in MLB. Russell Martin at catcher? I guess by default. I’ll take Cano at second, and A-Rod at third by default, but Beltre or Youkilis are equally deserving. And then there is Derek Jeter at shortstop. I love DJ, but Asdrubal Cabrera is killing it. Even Elvis Andrus has strong numbers. You see where I’m going with this fan voting.
I know the game is fueled by fans, and they want to see their favorite players in the All-Star game, but not when home field of the World Series is on the line. Either remove that idea, or let the players pick the starting nine and the fans vote in the rest of the players. I just don’t like how some guys can say they made 10 All-Star Games because they were popular during their playing career. It’s time to change..
