It looks like Barack Obama might have just revealed his support for an SPL team

This is the biggest American political story of 2017.

American politics has been eerily quiet so far this year – so quiet we’ve been starting to wonder what’s happening over there.

But now we’ve finally got a huge scoop straight out of Washington that’s going to take the whole world by storm. Are you ready?

It looks like Barack Obama might be a Motherwell fan.

 

Consider the evidence for yourself.

 

As far as we can tell, Obama has never mentioned having any support for Motherwell before, so either this is a new thing of his, or he’s just been keeping his Scottish football allegiances under wraps until now.

In fact, it’s always been thought that he was a West Ham fan, although maybe he’s been turned off the club by the recent move to the Olympic Stadium…

Obama’s got a little bit of time on his hands these days, so Fir Park regulars, we’re relying on you to keep an eye out for a certain former President getting a bit rowdy in the stands.
