He will follow Tommy Tuberville in the line of dumb ignorant unqualified sports people that get elected by gullible dumb ass Trump supporters.

Tom Brady and Steph Curry are their own brand, on the level of Jordan. Running for office would be a step down.

I could see Russell Wilson running one day but im not educated on his political leanings, outside of being super Christian and a former virgin. Lol

UCLA quarterback turned movie star* and now just retired from more than a decade of handsomely solving crimes on a CBS show that it seems boomers are legally required to watch.

I think I read somewhere he's maybe had some health issues, so probably not. But he's got the ears and eyes of white suburban voters between the ages of 55-75.

*fair enough if you don't think he's a star, but I really liked Summer School

edit: I missed "pro" which is a reasonable distinguisher to make this an interesting topic. I mostly wanted to get my Mark Harmon prediction out there in case it actually happens.

Kyrie as an independent lol

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

I thought it was weird that I hadn't heard he'd been elected to Congress. Then I thought, "Wait, my homie used to sell him trees. Now he's a Republican congressmen? WTF?"

I don't know if George would think an office would be corrupting but he obviously has a passion for politics.
