PLAYERS:
Barack Obama
By Life on Tobacco Road – In case you haven’t noticed boys and girls, it’s Election Day! Today we exercise our patriotic right and cast our vote to determine the leaders of our country, our state, our city, and, in some cases, our local animal control department. [i] But you already know all of that. So instead of talking about which candidate can do more for the economy or fix foreign relations with Azbukistan [ii], let’s make fun of them instead. And since this is a sports blog, and I’m a sports fan, let’s use sports as our avenue for humor.
So without further ado, I present to you the first [iii] ever DukeHoopBlog guide to the election, where we take the candidates you couldn’t pick out of a lineup and give them a relevant sports equivalent. It’s our way of giving back to you, the reader. And it’s fun.
