A coalition of sports leagues and player unions have agreed to be partners with the Biden White House to encourage more people to exercise and eat healthy foods.

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, said in announcing the partnership it is “simply unacceptable” that obesity and Type 2 diabetes are top causes of death among Americans, according to The Associated Press.

Chef José Andrés, co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, said that “community is collaboration.”

“I think collaboration is the key to really meaningful actions,” he said, according to The Hill.

“Collaboration between professional athletes, chefs and community health advocates … gives the President’s Council its strength. This collaboration we are announcing today, I think is another massive step in the right direction,” he said.

According to a news release from the White House, the National Football League will “build on PLAY60, the NFL’s national youth health and wellness platform, empowering millions of youth to get physically active for at least 60 minutes a day, and integrate the importance of nutrition into its messaging for these programs.”

The National Basketball Association, in partnership with the Women’s National Basketball Association, will “continue developing programming and events that promote physical activity to all young people and taking action to combat food insecurity.”

The release said that the National Hockey League will seek to expand the opportunity for families and children “to experience hockey in all forms through financial investments in communities, national advocacy, and strategic programming.”

Major League Baseball is participating through its PLAY BALL program, which combines baseball and softball with nutrition information, according to the release.

Major League Soccer has pledged to provide more than 2.5 million meals to communities through stadium food recovery programs and other events.

The PGA Tour has committed to promoting existing guidelines for nutrition and physical activity in partnership with groups in communities that host PGA events.

Other partners in the project are the National Women’s Soccer League, Major League Baseball Players Association, National Women’s Soccer League Players Association, National Hockey League Players Association, Major League Soccer Players Association and United Soccer League Players Association.

According to the release, the partnerships are part of the Biden administration’s goal of reducing diet-related diseases by 2030.

The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, & Nutrition is an advisory committee chaired by Andrés and WNBA basketball player Elena Delle Donne.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
