Of course, Burrow hanging out with Trump prompted some strong reactions online.
“Joe Burrow also being a Trumper was not on my bingo card. I mean I didn’t like him for other reasons like his Cockiness but now just… he went from ick to ewwwwww” said one fan.
“Hated to find out that Joe Burrow is a Trump supporter” commented another fan.
Damn Joe Burrow, gotta hope you fail now. https://t.co/QIl18ywTEw

It’s unclear whether or not Burrow is actually a Trump supporter based on the videos/pics released from UFC 299, but it’s clear that some fans will get outraged by any athlete who decides to acknowledge the former President at a sporting event.
Yall are weirdos for ‘losing respect’ for Joe Burrow for talking to Trump.
I honestly don’t think his political views align with Trump, so I GAINED respect for him for acting like a normal civilized adult in the situation.
Rare these days.
