Fitness News: President Obama and 3 NFL players to appear in PSAs during Thanksgiving Day Telecasts
This Thanksgiving while millions of youngsters are watching NFL football games, public service announcements will air promoting Play 60 and United We Serve, encouraging kids to exercise and adults to volunteer in their community.
President Obama and NFL players Troy Polamalu, Drew Brees and DeMarcus Ware will appear in PSAs during each of three NFL games airing nationally.
The 90-second spot shows Obama and the NFL stars playing touch football with local children on the White House lawn. The PSA promotes the league’s Play 60 campaign, which encourages physical activity to combat childhood obesity, and the president’s community service initiative United We Serve.
“Thanksgiving is a time when families come together, and it is also a perfect time to focus on the importance of keeping kids healthy and active,” New Orleans Saints quarterback Brees said in a statement released by the league. “I was honored to spend time with the president on an issue that is clearly important to him. I was also impressed by his wide receiver skills.”
