San Francisco 49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh Issues Witty Response to President Obama

NEW ORLEANS, LA – JANUARY 28: San Francisco 49ers head coach, Jim Harbaugh, speaks with the media during a media availability session for Super Bowl XLVII at the New Orleans Marriot on January 28, 2013 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Credit: Getty Images

In a recent interview with The New Republic, President Barack Obama told one of his former staffers that he wasn’t sure whether he would let his fictional son play football due to his safety concerns.

When asked by a reporter about the remarks on Monday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh issued a witty response to the president, saying if Obama feels that way, “then there will be a little less competition” for his own son.

“If President Obama feels that way, then there will be a little less competition for Jack Harbaugh when he gets older,” Harbaugh said, prompting laughter. ”That’s the first thing that jumps into my mind, if other parents are thinking that way.”

A reporter later asked Harbaugh jokingly what his 4-month-old son’s 40 time was.

“We don’t have a time on him yet, but his wingspan is a plus one,” he said. “As soon as he grows into that head he’s going to be something. It’s early, but expectations are high for young Jack.”

I’m sure that young Winston O’bama would have nothing to worry about.
First, they will have gotten rid of all competition and replaced it with an efforting of the ball.
Second, whether moved, or not, inbounds, or not, rules are subjective to one’s feelings and ability to proactively assess each others non-individuality.
Third, after an appropriate period of careful supervision, everyone is awarded a trophy.
Of course, all attendees to these events will be carefully selected to evince the desired enthusiasm and shed tears of joy for the uplifting sameness that everyone now shares.

football is dangerous but sending our kids off to try and kill foreigners is perfectly safe.

Obamasama The O’Bumbler, a two-timer who should have been a no-timer! Unqualified to be Prez, the fact that he was re-elected shows how desperate America is. In a few decades, at this rate this country will not even resemble what it used to be. Right now the founders would not recognize it, not counting the modern advancements, the gov’t has morphed into something that is NOT what they intended. Lord help us, for we have proven we don’t have the brains to keep what he has given us!

Obama said his son wouldn’t play football because he knows those who idolize him will support the end of football . Do we really believe in a Marxist society there will be football ? What makes anyone believe it would be allowed ?I think in Obama’s utopia , we will live each according to his needs. I really believe the sort of country he wants is a society where we will all have our lives dictated, our work , our address , our diets and the government will supply the food , our clothing and our healthcare. Agenda 21 will lead to that , if they succeed. Only the elitist will have the best while we, the slaves have nothing!!

A bit off-story, but it does deal with the NFL and the Super Bowl.
What’s with a movement being made by some who are asking that the day
after the Super Bowl is played, be declared a holiday? Is that like ”as a
Federal Holiday?” Because we really need another one. Then, if declared,
we could go into holidays after the World Series is over, and hey! How about
the NBA? Or the NHL? We could even include the Olympics! I’m so excited
I just can’t contain myself!

Ok…. so I just want to know why he (Obama) wouldn’t let his fictional son play football because of the violence but will send his daughters to an abortion clinic, which could leave them barren or dead, if they have an “accident”?

Obama will not let his son play football but he has no problem sending women to the frontlines in war.
Whats wrong with that logic?

I find it absolutely astounding though predicable that the Black Messiah thinks football is too rough and dangerous and wouldn’t allow his theorectical ) son to participate but has no problem sending women into to infantry combat. What a flamming AH!

Captain spaceball girliepants speaks.. Who cares what the Fraudster Fotus has to say about anything? He was not legally elected by any majority (delegates or otherwise) and therefore is hostage to his own lies he ran on in his campaign. Fotus is as irrelevant as they come. When he says “I won the election” as evidence of the will of the people– I remember the lies and the inaccuracy that “he won” anything, and discount any claims that he ran on anything. Because he did not run on anything that he now claims.

So, lets see if I understand… If obama had a son, he wouldn’t let him play football… because it is too DANGEROUS… BUT HE DOES HAVE DAUGHTERS, AND NOW THEY CAN FIGHT ON THE FRONT LINES OF COMBAT… football for boys, too dangerous, front line combat for girls, “equal rights.”

If I was a son of President Obama, as soon as I was old enough to understand the truth in all things then I sure would not be a Democrat the way it is at this time.

I played varsity sports in high school and college and found for the most part (other than teaching me how to act “jockish” and fit in with average people) it was a waste of time. Most of the athletes were rather stupid and low brow.

I have a three year old son and I have decided I would rather have him be an educated nerd than a jock. I might get him involved in martial arts for exercise and self-defense, but I am not pushing him into organized team sports.

  You have just explained, “total control”. Your son will grow up without “free will”.
