American cyclist suspended by team after pro-Trump comments
American cyclist Quinn Simmons was suspended by the Trek-Segafredo team on Thursday after posting antagonistic comments on social media in support of President Donald Trump.
The 2019 junior road race world champion replied to a journalist from the Netherlands who had criticized Trump on Twitter.
”Regrettably, team rider Quinn Simmons made statements online that we feel are divisive, incendiary, and detrimental to the team, professional cycling, its fans, and the positive future we hope to help create for the sport,” Trek-Segafredo said in a statement. ”(He) will not be racing for Trek-Segafredo until further notice.”
Must have been some horrible comments, right?
The 19-year-old rider reacted Wednesday when Dutch journalist Jose Been posted on Twitter that she hoped for her American friends that ”this horrible presidency ends for you,” adding ”if you follow me and support Trump, you can go.”
Simmons replied by writing ”Bye” with an emoji of a dark-skinned hand waving.
When a separate account replied ”Apparently a Trumper,” Simmons countered ”That’s right” with a United States flag symbol.
That’s it. But, hey, we can all understand that Biden supporters hate the American flag, considering it a symbol of hate. And the dark skinned hand? He’s 19, no big deal. Professional athletes have said way worse things about Trump and his supporters (and law enforcement) with no consequences.
