No matter your opinion of Donald Trump, it is pretty safe to say that he is one of the more controversial public figures in the world. President Trump has been in office for just over two months and we have seen numerous reports of his supporters and critics passionate about what he has done in office so far.
It is now even leaking over to ESPN and the sports networks.
“It Happened Live?” Donald Trump Causes Massive Controversy ESPN (Report)
In the NFL industry, Mina Kimes is one of the most respected analysts. ESPN is one of, if not the top sports media brand, where she currently serves as an analyst. However, something she said recently didn’t sit well with many fans:
Kimes has been with ESPN since 2014. She first joined the sports megabrand as a member of their magazine journalist team, and since then, she has worked her way up to the aforementioned podcasting gigs and the TV analyst gig as well.
However, it now seems that her job may be in a bit of jeopardy after some recent comments she made political comments at the expense of the Department of Defense when they removed and then restored a website that was a tribute to former baseball legend Jackie Robinson.
Here is what she had to say:
Fans were quick to react to this statement:

You people are the worst.
