Fans Rip WFT QB Taylor Heinicke After Finding Out He’s a Trump Supporter

The Washington Football Team wasn't given much of a chance against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during Saturday night's NFC wild-card game. That was especially true with the unproven Taylor Heinicke under center.

The 27-year-old quarterback was playing in place of the injured Alex Smith, and while he wasn't able to lead his team to victory, he performed a lot better than people expected. One play in particular—in which he evaded a sack and stretched out into the end zone for a touchdown—turned heads.







The excerpts you see above originated from an August 2020 piece examining Heinicke's long history of supporting Trump, and his questionable stance on the protests over social injustice that swept the nation last year. Once people online caught wind of Heinicke's particular views, the honeymoon for some, was over.

Im a little torn as a WFT fan. But it’s more players in the league that support Trump.

 

[Mr. Met]

Smoke for him but not his opponent?

 

[Deezz]

You can support chump, but he sounds like he is one of those idiot radical Right Wingers. For that, I hope he gets blackballed like they did Kaep. I doubt it, but I can dream.

 

[REDLINE]

I’m in the belief that all white people are trumped supporters. I know that’s not true but that’s not my assumption.

 

[Complex]

I assume all of them are

I'm surprised when they aren't

 

[Dr. Truth]

Meanwhile Nick Bosa goes to dinner with 49er coons. There’s a shit load of these honkies in the league
