Blue-check Twitter is apparently calling for ex-NBA star and coach Kevin McHale to be fired from his job as a TNT commentator after allegedly attending the Donald Trump rally in Duluth, Minn., last night.

Merely showing up to hear a president speak doesn’t necessarily mean that a person supports the entire POTUS agenda. Moreover, the controversy du jour that has enraged the social justice cohort — family separation at the border — was also in effect during the Obama administration with no outcry.

“Speculation that the man in the images is McHale was fueled by his wife Lynn McHale, who regularly posts pro-Trump updates on Twitter. And when Twitter users thought they had seen her husband at the Duluth rally, they descended on her account—which she then deleted,” Newsweek explained.

From Clay Travis’ Outkick the Coverage blog:

“It’s important to note that LeBron James attended a Hillary Clinton campaign event on the stage and not one person with any kind of audience in the country had any issue with that or even remotely suggested it should impact his job status. Because LeBron’s a citizen, just like you and me, and he has a right to his political opinions, just like you and me, even if we disagree. This is what reasonable adults used to think… all Kevin McHale did was attend a rally. He was just in the crowd. He didn’t speak or openly support Trump. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but he didn’t do it.) All McHale did was show up in the corner of a photograph of the rally.”
