Petition Begs Obama To Fire Christian Ponder

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Minnesota Vikings now have a 0-2 record for the season, and some are asking whether it's time for a major change.

One fan thinks he has the solution: get rid of quarterback Christian Ponder. In fact, he took his issues to a higher authority.

The fan started a petition on the White House's website asking President Barack Obama to remove Ponder as quarterback by "executive order."

As of Tuesday morning, about 20 people had signed the petition.

They would have needed about 100,000 more by next month in order to have the petition actually considered.

However, the White House removed the petition from the site for being in violation of their terms of participation.
