Atheist drops golfer’s sponsorship over fears Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck could taint business

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An atheist businessman in Virginia has ended his sponsorship of a professional golfer because he did not want his business associated with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) or conservative radio host Glenn Beck.

The Blaze reported on Monday that David Reynolds, golfer Jeff Cochran’s agent, received a letter from Virginia business man Brian McMahon last month to notify him that the relationship had been terminated.

“I have never had an issue with you or Jeff for that matter but this situation is very disturbing,” McMahon explained. “I have been tolerant of his religious views and even supported his off course speaking.”

However, I just can’t allow my company to be associated with these radical political views,” the businessman continued. “The idea that Jeff would line up with the likes of Glenn Beck or Ted Cruz or any other individual interested in destroying America, just isn’t something that I can swallow.”

According to The Blaze, that letter came after a dinner where Cochran praised Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael, for his appearance on Beck’s radio show.

1. The PGA Tour has a well-earned reputation for being right-wing asshats.

2. Many of the players are wrapped around the jesus axle

Most are RW, but kind of ok, being more Eisenhowerish than the fundie whackjobs.

3. The NFL is chock full of Jesus freaks, too...

At least they haven't taken over hockey yet.

5. Yep, Baseball as well.

Not so sure about the NBA, I don't follow it at all.

7. Haven't seen baseball in years...

I work second shift so baseball is real hard to catch. I do catch the occasional hockey game, too. Oh, and I am a Steelers fan, too- born in 68 about 45 minutes away in Stupidville (Steubenville) OH.

6. Shame Jesus isn't a financial advisor

4. I can hear the victimization now

8. Considering Ted Cruz's fathers views and desires for atheists, this is a smart move.

A man would be a fool to give money to someone who aligns with a person who publicly states their desire to lock the patron and those like him in camps and steal their children and kill them if they attempt to escape.
