At least not all professional athletes are bowing down to political correctness.

UFC fighter Colby Covington recently threw shots at Hollywood and the “woke” athletes that are wishing harm on  President Trump after he tested positive for the Coronavirus.

Covington is quoted saying “Speaking of ALL NEGATIVE, how about all the slime in Hollywood and woke sports wishing harm on a 74-year-old grandfather!?! How tolerant!”

Here is the tweet that got everybody talking:

Yahoo News covered the full story and reported this:

UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington fired back at the “slime in Hollywood and woke sports” wishing harm on U.S. President Donald Trump after he tested positive for COVID-19.

Covington has been a longtime support of the President. He has attended several of President Trump’s rallies, was the first UFC fighter to visit the White House (where he presented Trump with his interim UFC championship belt), and was even a special guest of the President’s at his recent debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

“For the people who constantly slander my name, but are all of a sudden concerned with my health and well being: I’m COVID free. I’ve been tested 7 times in the past 3 weeks, including prior to and after meeting with the POTUS. I was also tested during fight week, as well as before and after the debate. ALL NEGATIVE,” Covington wrote on Instagram, before lashing out.

“Speaking of ALL NEGATIVE, how about all the slime in Hollywood and woke sports wishing harm on a 74 year old grandfather!?! How tolerant! Unfortunately for them and fortunately for America, (Donald Trump) is a fighter!!! He KO’s the fake news media daily. He KO’d Slow Joe and Chris Wallace at the same time on Tuesday! Now it’s time for a casual weekend KO of COVID! Here’s to a speedy recovery and 4 MORE YEARS!!!”

Covington and Trump are no strangers to each other they have met multiple times.

Trump even called Covington after winning his most recent fight too.

The tweet comes after critics try to accuse Covington had contracted the virus too, being he attended President’s Trump debate.

USA Today Sports covered Covington’s remarks too:

UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington assured his Instagram followers on Saturday that he’s free of the coronavirus while also sharing some choice words on behalf of President Donald Trump.

Earlier this week, Covington attended the first presidential debate as a guest of Trump and sat in close proximity to the First Family. After Trump tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, two days after the debate, Covington indicated he’s heard from people expressing concern for him.

“For the people who constantly slander my name, but are all of a sudden concerned with my health and well being: I’m COVID free,” Covington wrote. “I’ve been tested 7 times in the past 3 weeks, including prior to and after meeting with the POTUS. I was also tested during fight week, as well as before and after the debate. ALL NEGATIVE.”
