Cs coach Brad Stevens joins ‘twin’ Pete Buttigieg rallying Democrats

Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens joined look-alike ex-presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg rallying Democrats in battleground states.

If you’ve ever noticed a strong, almost uncanny resemblance between Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens and former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, you’re not alone.

In fact, the likeness of the two is being put to work as Stevens has reportedly agreed to work with Buttigieg to help get out the vote in the 2020 Elections, according to Boston.com’s Nik DeCosta-Klipa.

The pair — both natives of the state of Indiana, for an added wrinkle of weirdness — worked with Buttigieg’s “Win the Era” political action committee to put together the event that will see Stevens advocate for Democrats in battleground states.

“Since people have pointed out Brad and Pete’s strong resemblance, they thought it would be fun to collaborate on an event together in service of getting out the vote,” related Win the Era spokesperson Sean Savett to DeCosta-Klipa.

Stevens has never been especially overtly political in his career, but has grown increasingly vocal about ethical and social issues since the start of the pandemic.

He has been particularly supportive of his players and team in their initiatives for social and racial justice, and to improve voter turnout in general.

Who wins in boxing match: President Trump or Joe Biden?

A poll conducted by FitRated.com found that the majority of 1,000 people surveyed think Joe Biden would beat Donald Trump in a boxing match.

Those who follow presidential polls know that Donald Trump is trailing presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the general election. The current president obviously has a fight on his hands as we approach November.

But what if it were a different kind of fight? What if it were, you guessed it, a boxing match?

Trump, 74, is a legitimate heavyweight at 6 feet, 3 inches and an estimated 240 pounds. Biden, 77, is a reported 6 feet and 160 pounds, which would make him a middleweight and an underdog because of the stark size different.

Still, a poll conducted by FitRated.com found that the majority of 1,000 people surveyed think Biden would defeat Trump in a boxing match. And it wasn’t close: 58.9% for Biden, 41.1% for Trump.

Biden had an even bigger advantage among fellow Democrats, 76% to 24%. Meanwhile, Trump had an edge of 68% to 32% among Republicans.

Those who took part in the poll evidently chose the wiry Biden’s quickness over Trump’s brawn. Or could politics have played a role?

If it makes the president feel better, similar polls had him defeating former Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg and Amy Klobuchar in the ring. Pete Buttigieg, 5-foot-10 but only 38 years old, was picked to beat Trump.
