Liberals Lose It When NFL Legend John Elway Tweets ‘Fake News’

It’s no secret that two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback John Elway is a Republican, but he’s never done or said anything to egregiously tout his political beliefs. However, when he tweeted two little words this week it was enough to send liberals over the edge.

On Wednesday, Elway – who is the executive vice president of football operations and general manager for the Denver Broncos – tweeted that rumors of the Broncos’ interest in outside quarterbacks were “fake news”:

Many believed Elway was alluding specifically to exiled quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who remains unemployed after staging divisive on-field protests during the 2016 season. And the liberals of Twitter just couldn’t handle it:

The crippling irony of the liberal outrage here is that I’m willing to bet the people who are threatening to turn their backs on the Broncos are the same people who support Kaepernick – who mixed politics and sports to a far greater extent than Elway ever has. But of course those same people will probably also tell you that Elway is on the wrong side of history, and therefore has no room to get political.

I don’t think anyone should mix politics and sports, either, but come on, Twitter. Your hypocrisy is showing.

Share this if you think the liberal outrage to John Elway’s tweet is completely ridiculous!
