I'm always amused when former athletes look to take their fame and turn it into a run at political office. Sad, but true, just about all of them are successful regardless of their stance. Tom Izzo would win governor of Michigan with a near unanimous vote. One sports figure I would have never predicted running for office, Peter Boulware.
Former Florida State Seminole and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Peter Boulware lived in the public eye during his nine year NFL career. And now he's set to return to the public eye. He's running for office. Boulware announced his candidacy on behalf of the Republican Party for a seat in the Florida State House of Representatives on Monday.Hey, that's great more power to him. I just wish he'd have a stronger stance than this:
''I grew up a Democrat and went through college and at the end of it I started just listing the things that were important to me,'' he said. ''As I listed those things and started comparing myself to the Democrat and Republican Party I found myself leaning more toward the Republican Party. That makes me a Republican, I guess.''Boulware To Sack Dems, Announces Plan to Run For Florida House (Lion in Oil)
