I agree with you Hoops! Sports leagues do have their players go to schools to talk about things like this- staying in school, working hard at the books as much as at sports, and the hard work they went through to get where they are. No one seems to think the NFL (or other leagues) are doing this to promote ticket sales…

Gawd you hit the nail on the head…What fucking American would freak out over the President of the United States giving children a pep talk on the first day of school…What are people afraid of? That million of kids will strive to be all they can be? Inspired? I’ll worry about their voting patterns in about 15-20 years..
Frigging plain ass stupid…I don’t like Obama’s policies Would never vote for the man..But by God he seems to be a hell of a dad and roll model and has 2 beautiful daughters they have raised…I would trust my children with him any day and twice on Sunday to give a talk…
