Obama and sport

Politico have analysed every word Obama has uttered in a speech, off-the-cuff remark or news conference since taking office.

He’s mentioned “basketball” 33 times, but, tellingly “hockey” only once.

He’s clearly not an NHL fan but amazingly the President has referred to hoops more than “gay” and “abortion” combined.

I can’t find any reference to baseball, American football or soccer. Though I know he certainly spoke about throwing the first pitch at the All Star game last month. In a White Sox jacket. Check it out here.
