Of course, anything related to politics gets a lot of attention on social media.
“Then he missed a FG and his team lost by one. Maybe should have focused on the game,” said one comment.
“He should be cut immediately. Politics have no place in college sports,” another said.
“And then misses a fg. His teammate in the 4th fumble with under two minutes left. And they lose the game. SAD,” a third added.
“Imagine celebrating the most exciting moment of your career by making it about a politician,” a fourth continued.
With the presidential election approaching, do not be surprised if more athletes become even more vocal about politics.
Reese Burkhardt Is In His Fourth Season
Burkhardt is a Texas Tech senior and could play his last college football season.

After those two years, he moved to the Red Raiders, where he still hasn’t had much opportunity. He has attempted just four field goals in his two years, making three of them.
He’s also gone 10 for 10 in his extra-point attempts.
