We’ve seen athletes endorse presidential candidates in the past, but how awesome would it be for someone to rep their prez choice in the middle of a game?

That’s what Chad Johnson planned to do last Sunday vs. the Houston Texans. Pro Football Talk has the scoop:

“We’re told that Bengals receiver Chad Johnson a/k/a Chad Javon Ochocinco had a special touchdown celebration planned for Sunday’s game at Houston, if he had actually managed to, you know, score a touchdown.

Per a league source, Johnson had a Barack Obama banner stashed in each end zone, which he planned to retrieve and unfurl if he had scored.

Such an action surely would have drawn a stiff fine, along the lines of a $30,000 penalty.”

I’m SO pissed we didn’t get to see this! Roger Goodell and the boys would have had a hissy-fit but it totally would have been worth it. The Bengals entire season is already in the toilet, why not make history?

The Bengals play Jacksonville this upcoming Sunday… let’s hope Chad still has this TD celebration in his plans.
