Is 2020 shaping up to be the year that celebrities let their MAGA pride flag fly for all to see — liberal snowflakes be damned?
After Joy Villa wowed everyone in her pro-Trump dress at the Grammy Awards this past weekend, Frank Clark, defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs, wore some Trump swag of his own during a Super Bowl press conference. The big moment went viral on social media Thursday when Benny Johnson shared footage of the moment on Twitter. Take a look:
Needless to say, Clark’s good natured swag caused a mass triggering of liberal SJWs across Twitter.
But he wasn’t the only Chiefs player to anger the left.
Chiefs offensive linemen Stefen Wisniewski quoted the Book of Job in an on-air sports interview from the Super Bowl field, sharing his faith in Jesus:
444 people are talking about this And even Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes raised the ire of liberals — including Black Lives Matter radicals — when a VERY un-P.C. quote he tweeted years ago about the Trayvon Martin case surfaced for the first time.
Mahomes defended George Zimmerman and said he did not commit any crime in the death of Martin. A jury later ruled Zimmerman acted in self-defense.
Mahones was only 18 at the time he posted the tweets, which were recently deleted.
For the bi-racial Mahomes (his father is Black) to do this has outraged the left, who have demanded his apology (he has thus far refused to do so).
Mahomes did not “support” Zimmerman, but just said (correctly) that he did not commit a crime in the death.
As of print time, no other Kansas City palyers have pissed off any liberals, but we will let you know.
In addition, as to a Trump White House invitation, no Chiefs players said they would refuse to go if they won.
Last year, prior to the Super Bowl game in which they lost to the New England Patriots, Rams head coach Sean McVay said the team was “undecided” on whether or not they would visit the White House.
Last week, 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman said that he most likely would not visit the White House if his team squeaked out a Sunday victory.
“I haven’t thought about it,” Sherman told San Francisco Chronicle’s Scott Ostler regarding a White House visit. “We’ve got a long way between now and then, but I doubt it.”
Wish I had seen this... Is there video of this press conference? Any photos of the players in Trump shirts??
One (white dude) quoted the Bible.
OK, I get it now, thanks. That's great, but the title of this article is deceiving ("Chiefs Players") I thought several players wore Trump swag, and several quoted the Bible.
Ya Chiefs; I is tired, in Jerusalem watching at Mikes Place, for American Expatriates and us visitors to the Holy City - game over at 5am and the place was packed. Dang what a finish, hate SF 49ers and luv that Patrick Mahomes - he grew up on the same street my sister lived on and threw passes to my nephew in the street games they played in Tyler, Texas as kids and saw his magic for a few years at Texas Tech! Great guy, wish I was his agent.
My wife told me Trump posted on Twitter a congratulations to the Chiefs and the entire state of a Kansas. Somebody (reporter) picked it up and saying Trump is an idiot because the stadium is in Missouri.
Everyone in KC was saying how they view it as one city, and it doesn’t matter - go Chiefs!
One guy posted something like “One twitter post from Trump, and now liberals are concerned about enforcing borders!”
See my post 45.
Man, you made me stop and think.

Mahomes. Stay strong on your Zimmerman opinion. You didn’t cave to San Francisco so don’t cave to the hate-filled Left.
Nice throwing arm. I’m really impressed since I weaned my football teeth on Johnny “U” Unitas in the 50’s.
And, it was Sherman who allowed the KC receiver to catch a pass that helped set up the Chiefs comeback.
He should have gone out of bounds instead of scoring.

I don’t think anyone, even you, would do that if you had the chance to score the clinching points in a Super Bowl.
I can’t agree.
Freepers like rare happenings. I have witnessed it.
I have a FRiend in SE Indiana and shee roots for the Cincinnati Reds, so it’s not like resdients of eastern Kansas wouldn’t be fans of the Chiefs.
NFL teams have recovered only one of 29 onside kick attempts this season. ... But they also have made it nearly impossible for a team to regain possession by recovering an onside kick. In 2017, before the new kickoff rules were enacted, NFL teams were successful on 11 of 57 onside kicks.Nov 16, 2019

You got burned in the big game, Richard.
Enjoy the rest of the winter.
RS needs to hang up his cleates. He looked like burned toast last night.
It was. I met Stefen’s father Leo who was a DT for Penn State and the Colts when I was in college when he came to speak at a Christian fellowship. Leo is a great person who is very active in ministry. This game was symbolic of the spiritual battle going on in America right now and is a sign of its outcome. Pear clutchers on this forum need to chill out.
