President Obama roasts MJ after he called him a ‘sh-**y golfer’

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

President Obama talks about MJ’s claim he’s a bad golfer around the seven-minute mark of this interview with Wisconsin radio station WJMR. If you can’t listen here are the highlights; someone is wrong.

“Michael wasn’t very well informed about this, I think he might’ve just been trying to give Ahmad an extra ratings boost on his show.”

The president thinks MJ should work more. Whichever team he owns now.

“He might want to spend more time thinking about the Bobcats - or the Hornets.”

Then the BURN ...

”There is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am. Of course if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case.
