Sox-fan Obama jokes that Cubs fans aren't serious

Bridgeport, Chicago, Ill. —

We all knew Barack Obama is a White Sox fan, but the presumed Democratic presidential nominee took it a bit further in an interview with ESPN.

Obama joked about the stereotype of Cubs fans, who probably are tired of being described as partying people-watchers instead of serious baseball fans.

"You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there," Obama said, according to transcripts released by ESPN. "People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball."

The interview, which took place Wednesday in Greensboro, N.C., will be aired on SportsCenter tonight at 5.
