Kevin McHale Under Fire For Attending Donald Trump Rally
Posted on June 21, 2018 by Clay Travis

Every time I think the far left wing in this country mixing sports and politics can’t get any more insane — they do.

Last night Donald Trump traveled to Duluth, Minnesota for a rally in that community. Trump, who lost the state of Minnesota by just 44,765 votes to Hillary Clinton out of nearly three million votes cast, spoke to over 9,000 at the rally. Among those in attendance? Legendary Boston Celtic player and former coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets, Kevin McHale.

McHale wasn’t on the stage or introduced by Trump, he was just in the crowd in the rally. The anti-Trump social media community dove into the photos of the rally and shared a picture of what appeared to be McHale in the crowd.  ...

McHale is in the right corner behind a woman holding up a pink Women for Trump sign.

I don’t know who the first person to spot McHale in the photo — who zooms in to photos from political rallies to look at the people there unless it’s you looking for yourself? — but left wing sports Twitter immediately ran roughshod over the McHale connection, which was shared so much that McHale began to trend on Twitter.

The left wingers then tracked down Kevin McHale’s wife’s Twitter, decided some of her political opinions were unacceptable, and so deluged her with hate that she shut down her account.  ...   More

There are calls for McHale to be banned from television and the NBA because of this egregious sin. Let that sink in a bit.

   The Rockets dumped him as a Coach 2 years ago.
   He's not well liked here anyway and this won't help.

@corbe

So he's not liked in Houston but he coached there for 3-4 years? Er, okay.   

He's a champion, he's been on multiple championship teams as a player.  Remind me how many coaches there are in the NBA and how many actually win the championship?

Take your time.

Managing Houston, lost in finals to Golden State. Gee, is Houston now defeating Golden State? 

4 years with the Rockets as coach. Yeah, he's not well liked there.

You seem to be taking some glee from this.

[corbe]

   He (McHale) wouldn't make a pimple on, current Rockets Coach, Mike D'Antonis, butt and will probably never coach in the NBA again.   Screw him, he's from Boston anyway.

[mountaineer]

Assuming some team does want him to coach, or a TV network wants him as a commentator, don't you realize that his possible presence at a Trump rally is enough to blackball him from all forms of future employment!?!? He's committed a mortal sin (assuming it actually was he at the rally) and - in true McCarthyism fashion - the left says he'll never work again.

These people are insane.

Trump Supporting Fmr. NBA Star Attacked

    06/22/2018 Source: TTN by: TTN Staff



An NBA Hall of Famer attended Trump's rally this week in Minnesota. He was immediately attacked, as deranged liberals called for him to be fired.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

    Kevin McHale, who played for the NBA's Boston Celtics from 1980 to 1993, drew rebuke from liberal activists after social media users noticed an individual matching the former player's 6-foot 10-inch frame in photos taken at the rally.

The comrades got their panties all in a bunch over someone leaving the hive.

The "open-minded,compassionate,and loving left" love nothing better than to blackball someone and put them out of work permanently,simply for disagreeing with Party Doctrine.

[Hoodat]

They should take people like McHale and force them to have gold six-pointed stars sewn on their clothing so that they can easily be identified.

Maybe some type of 'final solution' is needed.

[truth_seeker]

Maybe Kevin McHale and Dennis Rodman could pose together, wearing their hats which say:

"Make America Great Again"

Compliments from a time, before Obama "transformed" our country.

(Hillary was just along for the ride; the deal was Obama's wing of the party-his power, his tactics, etc.

There aren't that many white, American players in the NBA. The league has been about 80% black for the last fifty years.
And many of the few white players in the league are from Europe. 
So I'm wondering if the white, American players in the league are keeping a low profile as far as politics. The commissioner, Adam Silver,  is a chickensh*t leftist who gives in to any demand from the black tyrants in the league like Lebron James.  We'll see if the white American players start getting persecuted if they don't toe the BLM line.

I understand why the white players don't leave. They are getting paid an insane amount of money to play a stupid child's game.

I have never understood why white people watch pro basketball,though. It is clear that the majority of blacks hate white people,and the black players show open contempt for white people.

Pro basketball isn't interesting. Few, if any, players even attempt to play defense, the refs don't call traveling and other violations, and LeBron James whines nonstop. Give me college hoops any day.

[Fishrrman]

I'd never heard of "Kevin McHale" until I read this thread.

Is he someone important?
In the Navy, perhaps?

College hoops isn't any better...One and Done killed it.

[edpc]

Rodman is already a Trump supporter, so I would've expected Laimbeer before McHale.

Good point.
