Athletes Who Have Become Politicians
The popularity that many athletes generate allows them to be successful in other areas. Politics is one arena that several sports stars choose to pursue when their playing careers are over.
Athletes have served our country and abroad as politicians as a way to help others and build an even greater legacy. Some have been members of the United States Congress, while others use their local popularity in the city they played in to become mayor.
