A few years ago, something like this wouldn't have happened -- an open nod to Donald Trump in a major sporting event. It would've been unheard of and possibly career suicide. But now some MLB players are using Trump's post-assassination attempt 'fight' fist and wounded ear as game time celebrations:
NEW: MLB players are doing Trump-inspired celebrations after Trump was nearly assas*inated at his Pennsylvania rally last week.

Tampa Bay Rays player Taylor Walls was seen going "Fight, Fight" with his fist in the air.
The St. Louis Cardinals’ dugout was seen holding their ears… pic.twitter.com/ZKfjjZALpf
We're sure, somewhere, a Leftist is raging about this.
Oh well.
No more staying silent just to appease the libs.

We certainly hope the tide is turning.

Heh.
Man, so awesome. 😎

It kinda is.
Gotta love it! Trump has woken up the pride in all Americans.

💪🏼
Something changed this election cycle.
Americans love Trump. Our Government hates Trump.
— Big Tom Callahan🇺🇸 (@CallahanAutoCo) July 21, 2024
Our government hates us, too.
Let's watch how MLB and all the sports writers and news media come down on him.

They went after a kid for dressing up as a Chief's fan.
They feel free to express themselves now.

Like we said, something has shifted this election cycle.

Hmmm.
Possibly.
The completely compromised leftie sports journo world is about to churn out a few dozen articles about "racist MAGA Nazis" in Major League Baseball now.

The problem is, it's not 2016 anymore and normals give significantly less f**ks about sports media's incessant handwringing. https://t.co/NYz5EqIysP
As we said above, sports journalists did stuff like this.
No one will care.
This is a revolution. No more CLOSET Trump Supporters. It’s time to come out and speak out. https://t.co/AOvDSvJpa4

We've heard anecdotal stories about people being openly supportive of Trump -- wearing t-shirts in public, etc.
This writer was recently in Hawaii and met several open, vocal Trump supporters including one from Seattle.
There has been a shift. https://t.co/xRX5hGlKAj
— Josh Daws (@JoshDaws) July 21, 2024
Yes, there has. We can see and feel it.
Will it translate to an electoral win? We can't predict the future, but this isn't 2016 and it isn't 2020.
Trump’s response to evading an assassin’s bullet has electrified the American spirit, which is intrinsic in every human being to fight back and not let evil have the final word.

FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT. https://t.co/yjfHUkzjpn
It certainly resonated with a lot of people.
The raised fist is a white political symbol now. ✊🏻🇺🇸 https://t.co/a4MdxwV4Fp

The Left will lose their minds over this.
