I thought it would be hard for Trump to infuriate professional athletes, since most are like Michael Jordan, who famously said, "Republicans buy basketball sneakers as well", are reticent to speak out, but Trump proved I was wrong.
As a huge fan of the NBA, I am complete lock step with Lebron, John and Bradley as stated in the Washington Post:
"No, LeBron James is not backing down from his criticism of President Trump, preferring not to utter his name during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ media day.
“The people run this country,” he said, “not one individual and damn sure not him.”
That echoes a tweet he published Saturday morning, one that has been liked nearly 1.5 million times and retweeted nearly 653,000 times. You know, the one in which he called the president “U bum” for pulling a White House invitation for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors."
I try not to blog on Trump because if he is not a complete demonstration on why the Electoral College needs to be eliminated, I don't what the hell Donald Trump would have to do in order to drive this point home. I really think Trump was absolutely right when he said:
"You know what else they say about my people? The polls, they say I have
the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in
the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any
voters, okay? It’s like incredible,"
