Paul Levesque appeared at The White House on Thursday as part of the president’s executive order to bring back the Presidential Fitness Test.
The test incorporates a series of exercises aimed at assessing cardiovascular fitness, strength, endurance and flexibility.
For those wondering, President Barrack Obama replaced the test with an assessment called the Fitness Gram that is less competitive and more focusing on individual health. So, it was clear that the current president would change it. The president put together an array of sports figures (that clearly think his way), to announce the order. He also went on an incoherent rant about college sports which seemingly this commission will take to task.
Nevertheless, The White House put out a video of Triple H entering via his trademark spit take.
Payout Perspective:
How much can we deal with the infusion of politics in modern day sports? Its clear when there was social justice issues discussed and kneeling before the national anthem, some were up in arms. Now, everything from watching UFC to WWE is political. Certainly, TKO benefits to a certain extent from the publicity and the backing of the president. But, its clear we no longer hear the “stick to sports” refrain which reigned over sports, especially the NBA, during a blue president’s time in the office.
