I really don't think that the free world is an anymore trouble than it already is if Barack Obama takes some time out to fill out a bracket for ESPN. Really, if some real damage was going to go down, it was going to happen regardless of that missing half hour. Hell, I bet he spends more time than that in the bathroom.

Actually, I'm more impressed that this man can find the time to be this knowledgable about college basketball while rebuilding the economy, getting us out of Iraq, curing cancer, walking on water, all the stuff that he does. It's not like he's falling behind on things. If he was turning in his budgets late and missing press conferences because he was copying someone else's notes at the last minute, the complainers might be onto something. But he's getting everything done, so why are we bothering him? If anything, we should be impressed with his time-management skills.

If you didn't know our President (sounds nice doesn't it) is a White Sox fan. Our friends at Midwest Sports Fans send us a funny moment from last night Inauguration where B Prez asked Troops from Illinois Army National Guard 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Unit where their true allegiances lie: White Sox or Cubs?

The answers were the first defeat for B Prez you can read more here:

For someone who A- Is African-American and B- Who knows a thing or two about trying to bring change to the status quo I honestly and from the bottom of my heart want to congratulate President Elect Barack Obama.

I am relatively young man and I must admit I never thought I would see a day like this. Just the fact that parents all around the United States day can honestly look at their kids and say it doesn't matter if you have a funny name or a different skin color who can achieve anything you want in life including being the President of the United States of America.

Imagine that? Imagine that.

First off I don't care who you vote for, but just go out and vote.

Secondly trust me when i tell you this. More people care about a College Football Playoff than Steroids. I know this as a hard core fact. Here are the two interviews if you missed them.

I am not political. I am not democrat or republican. I am an independent. I am a free thinker. I don't like politicians I think the majority of them are liars. I didn't care Bill Clinton got head in the White House (I was a little envious). I find it funny George W. Bush can't read a teleprompter.

At the beginning of the Democratic race for President I was leaning toward Hilary Clinton simply off the strength that I liked Bill Clinton and thought he was a good president.
I was aware of Barack Obama but seriously a black man being president that is like saying there will be a black owner of a NFL team seemed like a fantasy.

But slowly but surely you saw the rise. In sports you see often the team or the player getting into the zone. Barack Obama has been in the zone for 18 months and after watching his acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination for president it is so obvious you are watching greatness.

That speech was Jordan over Russell in 1998:

I am a sports writer. BlackSportsOnline will never be confused with CNN. But one thing I understand is "Change". On such a smaller scale I have been trying to "Change" the bias sports media for years so it resonates with me that Barack is trying to "Change" the way America thinks.

In the month of August BlackSportsOnline has had over 100,000 visitors to the site. The reason you come to the site is for a "change", a breath of fresh air and a different perspective. Just remember that when you cast your ballot November 4th.

I am proud to be black. I am proud to be an American. I am a proud supporter of Barack Obama. I believe in fate and I believe in karma so I don't think it isn't coincidence that Obama's speech came on the same day of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

For many years Dr. King's dream has been a nightmare not just for African-Americans but Americans in general, but maybe just maybe it is time for a change. Do I think we can do it?

Barack Obama was scheduled to do a podcast with my ESPN.com buddy Bill Simmons. He is one of the few people employed by ESPN that I like. Unfortunately, at the last minute, ESPN producers nixed the show. It is ok for ESPN to show endless hours about steroids hearings, spygate and its own cheesy programming, but it won't allow 30 minutes for possibly the future president of the United States?

I guarantee you if this were John McCain or Hillary Clinton, they would be on the air right now. However, when you are an entity that is afraid to go against the status quo, you don't have enough guts to let an African-American presidential candidate on your network.

BlackSportsOnline endorses Barack Obama. So Barack, if you want to talk to an organization that is trying to make a change in the sports media just as you are trying to make a change in the United States, come holla at us.
