Jay Cutler endorses Donald Trump for re-election, once again throws to the wrong team late

The former Chicago Bears quarterback put his support behind Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

This Tuesday is arguably the most important United States presidential election in our lifetime. President Donald Trump is seeking a second term in the White House, but he has to contend with Democratic nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden. With the election just a handful of days away, essentially everyone has voted or knows who they’re voting for. Some have kept their choice close to their chest, while others have endorsed their preferred candidate publicly.

Trump received an endorsement from golf legend Jack Nicklaus, to which he shared through his social media accounts. Shortly afterwards, Trump received another vote of support from former Chicago Bears starting quarterback Jay Cutler, who shared Nicklaus’ statement on Instagram with the captions “never a doubt” and “sign me up.”

Cutler has supported Trump in the past

This news is far from a shock, considering the former NFL signal caller publicly said back in 2016 that he supported Trump “for a while” after he shockingly defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in the previous presidential election.

Cutler is not the only figure in sports to endorse the current president. Former Florida State head football coach Bobby Bowden, who was battling COVID-19 last week, said he fought the virus to ensure he can vote for Trump in the upcoming election. UFC BMF champion Jorge Masvidal publicly backed Trump earlier this month, as well as fellow fighter Colby Covington, who was spotted sitting alongside the Trump family in the crowd during the first presidential debate.

Cutler won over the internet with his popular Instagram series, revolving around the murder of his chickens. Some of those individuals might have been shocked or turned off by Cutler’s support of the divisive president, but everyone is entitled to their opinion on a specific candidate.

But it sure is interesting to not hear a peep out of the “stick to sports” crowd after Cutler’s public endorsement.
