It looks as though Tony Hinchcliffe’s appearance at Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden could hurt him where it matters most: his pockets.
The comedian made headlines after labelling Puerto Rico an “island of garbage”, as well as targeting Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift and making other seemingly racist and misogynistic jokes.
Now as the fallout continues, it appears Hinchcliffe’s role as ambassador for DraftKings is under threat, at least according to A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports.
“The commentary made by Tony Hinchcliffe does not reflect the views of DraftKings,” the company said in a statement on Monday, reiterating that his views do not reflect the company’s.

Hincliffe’s role as ambassador involved him posting various promotions on his social media accounts, but the posts have since been deleted.
Hinchcliffe on Kelce and Swift
While Hinchcliffe’s comments about Puerto Rico initially gathered the most headlines, his comments about Kelce and Swift weren’t far behind.
The comedian compared the Kansas City Chiefs tight end to O.J. Simpson, joking that he would following the same path of the man who once faced charges for murdering his ex-wife.
He also called celebrities who endorsed Vice Presdent Kamala Harris, including Taylor Swift, “crazy”, and comparing them to embattled rapper P. Diddy.
“So many great athletes. I don’t know about you guys, but I think that Travis Kelce might be the next O.J. Simpson,” Hinchcliffe said.
“Feels good in here. The other side’s got a lot of crazy endorsements. Swift, Eminem, Leo DiCaprio, Beyoncé. Every day, the Democratic party looks more and more like a P. Diddy party.”
