Especially as of late, pro athletes are getting into more and more trouble. The candidates figure, then, that these guys are not the type to help their images. Besides, the majority of athletes aren t the most experienced, worldly-wise ones around. The athletes know this, too, which is probably a reason they choose to stay away from the political scene. The candidates are relentlessly hounded by the bought and sold, biased, obsolete and just plain vanilla evil media to the point where those interested could probably find information on the candidate s breathing patterns and bathroom habits.
Athletes value their personal space.
But I m sure these young men also value spending private time with their girls and their buddies, something that would become impossible on the campaign trail. I think I speak for most men when I say that if I were that rich, that successful, that good-looking and had a gorgeous a creature wrapped around my arm, the last thing on my mind would be helping Joe Shmoe represent the 47th district.
