Star Cyclist Suspended By Team For Supporting Trump
Excerpt: Dutch journalist José Been had initially expressed to her American followers that “this horrible presidency ends for you,” after which she added “if you follow me and support Trump, you can go.”
That's when Simmons responded with a simple, “Bye” and included a hand emoji waving.
It didn't take long for the US-based World Tour team for which Simmons rides to essentially cancel him. Trek-Segafredo issued a statement suspending Simmons "until further notice" for what it called "divisive, incendiary" comments which were "detrimental" to the team.
...“(He) will not be racing for Trek-Segafredo until further notice.”

This is how bad it has gotten. It has become so politically correct that the US Constitution and the Freedom of Speech has been replaced by censorship of people who don't agree with the "progressives" and the leftists.
We have a professional athlete who has been suspended for showing support to his president. There is something wrong with that. America used to be able to handle disagreements within its nation but now disagreement is a form of war-footing to destroy or cancel those who don't tow the leftist party line.
