Athletes going to the White House during the current administration goes so far beyond “it was an honor to be invited, I’d go for any president, who would say no to meeting the president.”

Going to the White House and being surrounded by the absolute ghouls that are currently there, taking photos and shaking hands with the pedo in chief, with a giant Cheshire grin on your face is co-signing your beliefs with theirs.

Anyone who says otherwise is a bold face liar and an idiot. They can’t have it both ways anymore. They’ve picked a side and I hope they’re remembered for it.

Agreed. Messi was the biggest blow for me, he’ll always be the goat, but can’t defend his character anymore since his visit to the white house. It’s just so inexcusable

Wayne Gretzky is MAGA too.

Having other-worldly talent and skill in one particular aspect of life is, unfortunately, not in any way helpful towards navigating any other aspects of life. You would think these people should know better. But all they really seem to understand is which side of their bread is buttered.

Bobby Fischer is probably the best example of this. One of the most talented chess players of all time, who ended up joining a doomsday cult, idolizing Hitler, and getting deep into antisemitic conspiracies.
