Best Sports Politicians
Just saw that Tommy Tuberville is running for the US Senate and it got me wondering which sports related figures would be most electable. Don't want this to be political so not interested in injecting policy debates but from a personality and popularity standpoint, who could win a high-level political office?
Off the top of my head, I'd have to say Charles Barkley has the chops and the following for it. Of course, if Herschel chose to run on a platform of steamrolling over the Russians like they're Bill Bates standing on a banana peel, I'd have to vote for him out of principle.

Nick Saban could be elected Emperor of Gumpville.
Vince Dooley gave serious consideration to running for Governor Of Georgia in the 1980s.
If Dooley had ever run for president, I sincerely would've hoped he'd appoint Erk Russell as Secretary of Defense.
I like how Clay Travis always said if Nick Saban said Alabama should legalize gay marriage or he'd resign, the state of Alabama would pass legislation immediately.
Lol, that's a good one.
Donald Trump owned a professional sports franchise. I always felt like his “tell it like it is” personality would stand a chance if he ran for public office, even the Presidency.
I'll give it to you...no one sets tastier bait for me to jump on than you. But this trout is moving right along
Peyton Manning could easily win a congressional seat or governorship in TN.
Doesn't he live in Mississippi?
Guess that means he’ll need to run as a democrat.
Guess it's time to close this thread
Who knows? Crazier things have happened.
It’d probably be another close race with pedofile, Roy Moore. I hear he’s the leading REPUBLICAN candidate in AL (again).
Gerald Ford was an All American center for some school up north whom I hope beats O$U.
538 did a piece on that. That poll was essentially just who had more name recognition. His lead will go away when the primary actually gets going.
He actually signed Herschel Walker.
