Jeremy Is In The Office Proudly Presents
US Olympian or Foreign Head of State Week!
Day 2: Justin Trudeau
Today, we continue our Olympic celebration with the second day of Theme Week, asking the question, "Is this person a member of the 2016 US Olympic Team, or the head of state for another country?"
As usual in Theme Week, we started things off pretty easily yesterday with William Priddy. This man, better known as Reid Priddy (yes, it was kind of a trick question, deal with it) is representing the good ol' USA in Rio this year as an indoor volleyball player. At 38 years old, Priddy is the elder statesman on a very young and inexperienced, though immensely talented, US team which is considered a favorite to come away with a medal in the tournament. He's also the guy responsible for This Preposterous Spike. The team got off to a rough start in the Olympics on Sunday with a 3-0 upset loss to Canada, but they seek to rebound later on today vs Italy. Priddy has become only the second player in US history to play for the US indoor volleyball team in four consecutive Olympic games, joining retired setter Lloy Ball as the only players to accomplish the feat.
For today, we move on to Justin Trudeau. Will Trudeau be rooting on another country to victory as its head of state, or will Team USA fans be rooting on one of their own?
