Giants legend Lawrence Taylor is out here stumping for Donald Trump at a New Jersey rally. Can you believe it?
It seems like even the football world can’t escape the madness that is the upcoming election. Lawrence Taylor, known for his ferocious play on the field, has decided to throw his support behind the controversial ex-president.
“I’ve always been a Democrat until I met this man,” Taylor reportedly said at the rally. Well, looks like Trump has a new fan in the sports world.
‘I just wanted to say I grew up a Democrat and I’ve always been a Democrat until I met this man right here,’ the 65-year-old Taylor told Trump supporters at a campaign event along the Jersey Shore on Saturday. ‘He will not have to worry nobody in my family ever voting for a Democrat again.’
Taylor is a beloved figure in New Jersey, where helped lead the East Rutherford-based New York Giants to a pair of Super Bowl titles during his decorated – and troubled – NFL career.
It’s unclear when he and Trump first met, although the real estate mogul did own a USFL team in the 1980s that shared a stadium with Taylor’s New York Giants.
Taylor was joined on stage by his former teammate, retired running back Otis Anderson.
‘Don’t you just love that guy?’ Anderson asked, referring to Trump. ‘Don’t you just love that guy? I tell you it has been a very exciting day. You guys, not one person left here. You’re still here yelling and screaming.’
Taylor’s support comes with a bit of controversy, not that Trump seemed to mind on Saturday.
But hey, who am I to judge? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, right? Whether you agree with Lawrence or not, you have to admire his courage to speak out and support who he believes in.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out in the coming days. Will other football legends follow suit and support Trump? Or will this be a one-off situation? Only time will tell.
But for now, let’s all sit back and watch as Lawrence Taylor, the Giants legend himself, steps into the political spotlight.
