On Nov. 7, Matt Whitaker was named the acting Attorney General of the United States after Jeff Sessions’ resignation. He is now in position to make very important decisions about the fate of the nation.
Matt Whitaker, the new acting attorney general, has some extremely basic opinions about sports
A man who could help shape the nation’s future also has strong opinions about Iowa football and Tim Tebow.


One look at Whitaker’s Twitter account, also reveals he’s got some very, VERY basic opinions about sports, folks. He’s made his account private thanks to some old tweets criticizing Robert Mueller, but before he did we went through his account to find the most ... regular? ... sports takes he had.
Some backstory on Whitaker in general: he graduated from Iowa, played football for the Hawkeyes in the 1990s, and even appeared in the 1991 Rose Bowl between the Hawkeyes and Washington Huskies.
But back to his sports takes, which he’s got plenty of:
Various opinions on Iowa football
As a former Hawkeye TE, there’s a lot of this, too:
Might’ve been one of the few!
Randy Moss
Football in general
Same, tbh.
Lifting weights in his free time:
That’s ... somehow not surprising.
Oh yeah, and take a gander at his cover photo:
I’m not mocking this at all — the dude can lift some serious weight.
The Chicago Blackhawks, and sports in general, for mental health.
Golf
Perhaps the most heated of categories here.
Matt has some golf feelings he might need to work out with an afternoon tea time or two.
Bottle flipping
Bottle flipping is sports too!

Which of Whitaker’s teams do you think drove him to this particular purchase?
Whitaker might be a little busier now with his new job. It’s a role that comes with an incredible amount of responsibility, including some big decisions. There’s about a one-year gap in Whitaker’s Twitter history, after which he stopped dipping so frequently into the sports takes for some reason.
