President Barack Obama declines to put on Navy football helmet

When the Navy football team visited the White House on Friday to celebrate winning the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, President Barack Obama received a Navy helmet with the number 44 on it.

President Obama admired the helmet but declined to put it on when a player asked him too, saying: “Here’s a general rule: You don’t put stuff on your head if you’re President. You never look good with something on your head.”

Had he put on the helmet, he would have never heard the end of it.
