The 2014 FIFA World Cup will be the 20th FIFA World Cup, an international football tournament that is scheduled to take place in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July 2014.
Everyone likes football. Me too. Barack Obama also liked football very much. He was offered a football when he won the election. He did it, they gave it. Football??? Kabooooom!!!! It's Nuclear!!! ;)
The President is always accompanied by a military aide carrying a "football" with the launch codes for nuclear weapons.
It is a metallic Zero Halliburton briefcase carried in a black leather "jacket". The package weighs around 20kg. A small antenna protrudes from the bag near the handle.
In his book Breaking Cover, Bill Gulley, the former director of the White House Military Office wrote:
According to history channel report the president lives with the football (the briefcase) more time than with his wife.
God only knows why on earth they named it a football?

If the President (who is Commander-in-Chief) decided to order the use of nuclear weapons, he would be taken aside by the "carrier" and the briefcase would be opened. Then a command signal or "watch" alert would be issued to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The President would then review the attack options with the aide and decide upon a plan which could range from a single cruise missile to multiple ICBM launches.There are four things in the Football. The Black Book containing the retaliatory options, a book listing classified site locations, a manila folder with eight or ten pages stapled together giving a description of procedures for the Emergency Broadcast System, and a three-by-five inch card with authentication codes. The Black Book was about 9 by 12 inches and had 75 loose-leaf pages printed in black and red. The book with classified site locations was about the same size as the Black Book, and was black. It contained information on sites around the country where the president could be taken in an emergency.
