American Cyclist Suspended For Trump Tweets

An American cyclist has been suspended for a tweet he sent out regarding President Donald Trump.

It is the latest example of the chokehold politics seems to have on sports these days.

This past week, Quinn Simmons of the Trek-Segafredo cycling team was suspended for tweets described as “divisive, incendiary, and detrimental.”

Saying “Bye” to a social media site, is hardly a pro=Trump tweet. This whole thing makes me sick. I will never own a Trek.

Didn’t you know?
Supporting a Trump is divide, racist, and quite possibly a threat of violence.
Any who don’t comply with approved SOROS narratives must be removed from the body politic.

Welcome to the world WE helped create, folks.

Cancelled for supporting Trump.

“It is worth explaining why Quinn Simmons’ tweets were racist. It was not because of his politics, but because he used a black hand gesture.

Blank Hand Gesture? Wha?

It's called Free Speech.

This has to stop....people are kicked out of jobs, mocked in the media, families are harassed.

Somebody start a GoFundMe account for this young man and I will gladly contribute to support his legal team. This kind of un-American behavior must be halted by sizeable judgements in a court of law.

I own two Trek bikes. Called them today to tell them they are suspended until they change their mind about the First Amendment. They were feeling some pain because i wasn’t the first one to call.

Only the left gets to use that tactic! Same with Judicial activists.

If this holds, then every and any Trump supporter, for whatever reason, is “divisive, incendiary, and detrimental.”

That’s simply not true.

Everything the Left says about Donald J. Trump is “divisive, incendiary, and detrimental.”

And also a LIE.

So now tens of millions of Americans are persona no grata?

When, in the future, children ask, “Who started the Second Civil War?”, you can say, “The Left did, dear.”

Conservatives everywhere have to start fighting back just like Sandman did, sue them all for every nickle you can get.
