Barack Obama joined the ManningCast during Bears – Patriots and NFL fans couldn’t get enough

Obama stole the show on the most recent ManningCast.

If NFL fans are any indication, Barack Obama is the best ManningCast guest we’ve had to date.

On Monday Night Football between the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots, the former president joined Eli Manning and Peyton Manning’s broadcast during the first quarter. Monday’s guest list for the ManningCast was incredibly star-studded, with Obama, Bill Burr, and Vince Vaughn all joining the show during the evening.

However, according to NFL fans, it was Obama that stole the show as the former president had some great moments with the Manning brothers and outshone them with their signature outfit, the quarter-zip pullover!

Here’s hoping Obama comes back for another round on the ManningCast because boy was that a fun one! NFL fans were clamoring for more after Obama’s brief time on the ManningCast.

Barack Obama on Bill Russell: Today, we lost a giant

Barack Obama: Today, we lost a giant. As tall as Bill Russell stood, his legacy rises far higher—both as a player and as a person. Perhaps more than anyone else, Bill knew what it took to win and what it took to lead. On the court, he was the greatest champion in basketball history. Off of it, he was a civil rights trailblazer—marching with Dr. King and standing with Muhammad Ali. For decades, Bill endured insults and vandalism, but never let it stop him from speaking up for what’s right. I learned so much from the way he played, the way he coached, and the way he lived his life. Michelle and I send our love to Bill’s family, and everyone who admired him.

La futbolista Megan Rapinoe reaccionó a la decisión de la corte suprema en Estados Unidos de anular el derecho al aborto, calificándola como “triste y cruel”.

Megan Rapinoe es una futbolista que ha alzado la mano en diferentes ocasiones contra temas que involucran derechos de minorías al ser un abanderada de la lucha por los derechos de la comunidad LGBT.

“El punto de todo esto es la crueldad, esto no es pro-vida en los absoluto”, “no puedo entender lo triste y cruel que es”  declaró Rapinoe.

Mundo del deporte reacciona a decisión de corte suprema

No solo Megan Rapinoe reaccionó a la decisión de la corte suprema, la ex tenista Billy Jean King otra defensora de los derechos de las mujeres publicó un mensaje donde asegura que es un día triste para Estados Unidos al eliminar un derecho que por cerca de 50 permitió el aborto. Considera que la decisión no eliminará el aborto solo impedirá el acceso sano y legal a esta intervención médica que calificó de vital.

Basquetbolistas como LeBron James, Sue Bird, la propia WNBA y varios clubes de la MLS y la NWSL compartieron su rechazo a la decisión de la corte suprema y muchos de ellos replicaron el mensaje del ex presidente Barack Obama que se hizo viral con su reacción.

“La Corte Suprema no sólo revirtió casi 50 años de precedentes, sino que relegó la decisión más intensamente personal que alguien puede tomar a los caprichos de políticos e ideólogos, atacando las libertades esenciales de millones de estadounidenses”, señaló el ex presidente Obama en su cuenta de Twitter.

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr says he got a text from former President Barack Obama on the team’s NBA championship win — unlike his star point guard, Steph Curry, who apparently got a phone call.

Jaylen Brown highlights: Star forward gets 25 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals in Bulls blowout

Brown led all scorers in a road trouncing of Chicago in front of former US President Barack Obama.

Owner of his 10th game in a row with at least 25 points — the longest such streak in the NBA — Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown continues to rise in the impact he provides his surging Celtics as they close out the second half of their 2021-22 slate of games strong, most recently with a dominant performance against the Chicago Bulls in front of former US President Barack Obama Wednesday night.

The Georgia native put up a game-high 25 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, a career-high tying 4 steals, and a block in 35 minutes of playing time in the 11 – 94 blowout of the Bulls, fouling just twice and turning the ball over once. Shooting 10-of-21 from the floor and 2-of-4 from deep, the only blemish on Brown’s masterful performance was going 3-of-6 from the charity stripe.

If you missed the game Wednesday night or just want to see the Georgia native go off again, check out the clip embedded below to see his best plays in the trouncing of Chicago.

Finally, Butler is frequently mentioning his favorite part about coffee is not necessarily the drink itself; instead it’s the conversations shared over a cup. He still has some Heat members he needs to sip with (Pat Riley included), but when asked who his dream coffee shop hang is, Butler was unsurprisingly all over the board. “Man, way to put me on the spot. I got three people, right? I would definitely pick Neymar, I’m a huge fan. I would pick Barack Obama. I want to sit down and have a cup of coffee with Obama. And then lastly, I would pick [long pause] Emma Raducanu. She’s a young baller, She’s a monster. If I could share a cup with those three, I think I’d be having a great time.”
