Both candidates played sports prior to medical exemptions
Reports have noted that both candidates played sports and appeared relatively healthy prior to their medical exemptions.
As the viral meme says, Biden played football and worked as a lifeguard in high school — details he included in his memoir, "Promises to Keep," per a report from the Associated Press.
Similarly, the New York Times observed that Trump had played football, tennis, and squash, and "seemed the picture of health" prior to his medical exemption.
