Texas Tech Kicker Reese Burkhardt Flashes “Trump 24 MAGA” Shirt Under His Jersey After Scoring A Touchdown

There is no escape from how ubiquitous Donald Trump is, even during college football games on the field of play. Texas Tech kicker Reese Burkhardt felt like a superhero, and frankly, I can't blame him. How often is it that you play that position, get to snag a pitch off a fake field goal, and sprint in for an easy touchdown? Well clearly the Red Raiders had coordinated this special teams trick play prior to the game, fully intending to whip it out. Whether Burkhardt knew he was going to make a political statement on this particular play or not, he was going to find a way to flash the crowd to reveal a "Trump 24 MAGA" shirt underneath his uniform. https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1850291207617794448 https://twitter.com/JonnyRoot_/status/1850296025174728986 This will inevitably spark the age-old debate as to whether people want to have political ideologies shoved down their throat by athletes on the field. Since it's just one quick flash reveal from Burkhardt, it's a fraction of the time that political ad campaigns get this time of year. And way less airtime than the woman in the MAGA hat got last night during game 1 of the World Series, which sent people on the internet into a spiral. As the home stretch comes in this 2024 presidential election between Trump and Kamala Harris hits the home stretch, I'll bet Burkhardt just won over a lot of folks tuning in for the heated Lone Star State clash between Texas Tech and TCU. In any event, he probably helped reaffirm MAGA Nation's enthusiasm that Trump will reach the White House again. Politics aside, what a slick trick play this was. Might be the last touchdown Burkhardt ever scores.
