President Barack Obama had an interview with Bill Simmons who visited a lot of sports questions and one of them was if he would like to be the commissioner of one the big leagues. being the basketball fan that he is, he gave his preference to the NBA but he acknowledged that Roger Go0dell’s salary got his attention.
“Well, I’m best suited for basketball. But I cannot believe that the commissioner of football gets paid $44 million a year.”
Bill Simmons, who is an avid Boston fan and still soured over the deflategate saga, saw an opening in that comment and tried to get the President to put the hammer down on Goodell but he backed out very quickly.
“You’re not going to drag me into your fights, man,” Obama said. “Come on — I’ve got enough fights of my own. This is between you and Roger.”
After being the commander of the free world for the last 8 years, I’m sure being the commissioner of the NBA wouldn’t be as challenging for President Obama but again he will have to persuade the first lady to remain in the spotlight and that i’m sure would be his toughest battle.
