Move over Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, there are a number of sports athletes ready to become the next president of the United States.
Michael Jordan, Marshawn Lynch and a sketch of Tom Brady are nominated for president
Not satisfied with the current options for 2016? Well, look no further!
Of the current 867 people whose name have been filed for president under the Federal Election Commission (FEC), several are notable sports figures.
So America, you now have a chance to vote for either Marshawn Lynch (of the “Peace and Freedom” party) or his alter ego, Beast Mode!
Or if you are as anti-Lynch as the NFL seems to be, you can just go with candidate “Seattle Seachickens Suck,” surging in the poles since Malcolm Butler gave him an endorsement of a lifetime in February.
What about none other than one Michael Jordan, a global icon who is a million times more popular than Trump will ever be? But his choice to run as an “independent” may lead some to believe he flip flops as much as he trash talks.
A “Tom Brady Sketch” seemed like a promising candidate for many years. But current court issues surrounding that name has certainly filled his candidacy with a lot of taint.
Or if those candidates aren’t your cup of tea, you can go with the real underdog of underdogs in Rocky Balboa! But yelling “Yo Adrian” and choosing that as his campaign slogan probably will cost him outside of Philadelphia. And if you are thinking about a little foreign favor, you can go with emerging Steven Gerard Korb, although check his birth certificate to see where he was born. You know Trump will ask for it.
It should be strongly noted that anyone can file someone’s name to run for president. It’s why you also see three different versions of the viral sensation “Dee Nutz” listed, along with other legendary movie figures Obi Wan Kenobi and Forrest Gump. There’s even a filing for a Frederick Lindsay Lohan Emperor Goku.
So there’s plenty of time for LeBron James, Mike Trout and, yes, Tim Tebow to entert the race. Or for someone to save them all the hard work and sacrifice it takes to submit your name to the FEC, and do it just for them.
