The NCAA reported today that President of the
United States, Barak Obama, has been awarded the Heisman Trophy.
While the award is usually bestowed upon college football's most
talented offensive player, the NCAA this year took a different
approach.
Even though Mr. Obama has never played collage football,
apparently he watched a college football game this weekend and
thereby is qualified to win the coveted award.
Responding to critics of this years surprise choice, the Heisman
committee stated: "It has nothing to do with actual
on-the-ground accomplishments. This award is intended to give
hope to all the athletes and non-athletes of the world; hope
that even in the absence of real performance, they too can be
given awards for their good intentions, future promise and
current popularity."
