    Kluwe has also written a few books. The Prime book was a great read by paperback sci-fi standards.

    On the one hand, a tragedy his career was cut short. On the other, I’m glad he got got spared from that meat grinder, and has a bit of a platform to speak out.

    I would vote Travis for president. Please run dude! This country needs heart. You don’t need to have experience or anything special just be over the required age and love the country that this country could continued to be.

    Who gives a fuck what celebrities think of politicians? This isn’t news and we are all dumber for having paid attention to it.

        To be fair, I was very high when I posted this and I was referring to the Travis Kelce bit. Sometimes you gotta own the downvotes

      What we need right now is for people to do anything at all, like this guy. I want to see you get arrested for what you believe in

      Showing public defiance is a good thing. People need to know they can act up, they are not alone.

        Except the arrested the poor bastard. That make us newsworthy, but probably doesn’t inspire similar actions.

        I’m glad he did it though, but worried he was arrested for speech.

        You’re right, I should be worrying about what Travis Kelce thinks of Trump like all the real internet activists.

      Yeah, cause the USA totally hasn’t been voting in dumb ass celebrities into positions of power, like the president.

          Ronald was a pretty good politician before he became president. He was popular for a reason and it wasnt because he was an actor. The joke in Back to the Future is funny because he wasn’t really very well regarded as an actor. Look up how many Acting Awards he won.

      I wouldn’t call him a celebrity at this point. And I don’t know that being a professional athlete automatically makes one a celebrity either. There are plenty of pro athletes that can walk down the street unrecognized. Just because you’re in the NFL doesn’t mean everyone knows you.

        Buddy of mine is in the nfl. He’s been recognized like twice in 4ish years.

        Oh and the one guy got the team wrong so I’m half thinking someone else recognized him first and just didn’t say anything.

          And I’ve been recognized by people I don’t remember meeting from 10+ years ago about that frequently.

            Yeah only a handful of folks in professional sports end up being celebrities. Most of them just collect their check and live it up quietly, doing the occasional interview that gets watched by 20 people or so. :p

            I’d love that life.

              Same. I don’t want to be the star, I want to be the person that makes the star look good, like be a clutch second string that doesn’t screw up while the star takes a much needed rest. You’re still making crazy money, but you also get to live a reasonably quiet life.

      This is definitely news. It’s not the biggest story out there by any means, but no one said it was. Is this really something you think NFL news reporters should just ignore though? I also don’t believe whitepeopletwitter is a community centered around breaking news so I have zero clue what you’re going on about.

        If this was more about Travis Kelce liking Trump you’d have no problem agreeing with me. You’re only ignoring the principle in this case because this particular person thinks the same as you.

      Although I find this comment pretty stupid, it’s quite hard nowadays to not think : Ok, so US has officially joined the New Axis and is there to stay with widd popular support, because they’re now basically the nazis. What happens there is of no importance. What’s important is to find the new Allies.
