It was the Iowa CNN town hall “debate” where Bernie Sanders was asked what kind of athlete he used to be. He fondly recalled his youth basketball days, where, he says, he was a star player on his Brooklyn grammar school basketball team. This appears to be true. Newspaper accounts tell of his school, PS 197, winning the Burrough Championship, just as Sanders recalled on CNN.
He then revealed that in high school he was a long distance runner, who “won several races.”
Just how good an athlete u200bwasu200b @BernieSanders growing up? https://t.
