but as far as commentary: if Kenworthy tweeted, "Trump is making America great again, especially producing a daughter like Ivanka, who is hotter than her dad says she is" ... you'd be OK with him speaking out and would change your mind about calling him a POS. He'd be celebrated as a con hero.
Cons, like Laura Ingraham, don't like public figures (athletes like Kenworthy and LeBron, entertainers and celebrities or other public figures not in politics) who speak out about political matters...they should all stay in their lanes, except if they support the cons agenda...Clint Eastwood and Charlton Heston were embraced for speaking on behalf of the GOP...
And by the way: LOL!
Conservatives don't like athletes speaking out?
You gonna own that one? Because that's a joke.
Back in 2011 when the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup, goalie Tim Thomas chose not to visit the Obama White House.
The city practically ran him out of town.
In fact, they even (get ready for it) played the RACE CARD!
