Did Obama make Kentucky Lose?



Obama, pictured above (FYI he's the guy in the middle), has once again, stuck his nose a little too far into the world of sports. Yesterday he had a televised phone conversation with the Kentucky basketball team because they helped with Haiti relief. Completely fine. Then he starts joking around with John Wall saying, "Oh I've been watching YOU." Watching the facial expressions of the other Kentucky players while Obama and Wall were having their private chat in public made me extremely nervous. I could feel the tension in the room. As if the guys on the team don't hear enough about how good John Wall is. Now they've got the fucking president doing it on national TV right in front of them. Watching Patrick Patterson, the Senior fucking captain, fake laugh, and Demarcus Cousins, who happens to be playing a million times better than Wall right now, crack a forced grin and awkwardly touch his face because he wanted to scream I'M AVERAGING 18 POINTS 11 REBOUNDS SHOOTING LIKE 70% IN OUR LAST 10 GAMES! WHAT THE FUCK MR PRESIDENT! JOHN HASN'T SCORED 20 POINTS IN 11 GAMES! Check out his face at 15-21 seconds and at 45 when he's wondering how much longer he can be on camera without snapping
I bet he has trashed his dorm room right after this and don't be surprised if John Wall (Cousin's roommate) mysteriously disappears.

Back to Obama. He absolutely cursed Kentucky when he said "There is that tendency once you get to number one to let down a little bit." Don't put those ideas in those kids heads dude. What do you think they were thinking about during the entire game? Leave that shit to Calipari who had probably already given them the whole huge target on your back talk. That's motivating. They probably would have already lost, but Barry Obama took it a step further. Cousins, being an immature frosh said something to the tune of we're looking forward to meeting you at the White House after we win the national championship. Obama responded with a phrase that caught the attention of the Jinx police. "The way you guys are going, that may happen." Every officer in the jinx police was ordered to go to Columbia, SC to make sure all of Downey's circus shots and all of the three pointers from anonymous Gamecocks down the stretch went in. What he should have done was either chuckle and just give them a "yeah" or say something poetic (as he loves to do) like, "well Demarcus, uhh you guys just keep working hard and listening to your coach, and maybe you'll get that opportunity." And another one bites the dust. Way to go Barry. Leave serious basketball shit like motivating the players on the number 1 team to the coach and go study some bracketology because we all know you'll steal the tourney's spotlight by filling out a bracket with Fran Fraschilla on Sportscenter.

PS, can you believe that hoops squad? It's like all Asians and a Middle Eastern water boy (seated top left) that's the most ethnically diverse team I've ever seen.
