Yahoo News - Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray was the first overall pick in the
NFL draft on Thursday, but on Saturday morning, President Donald Trump
decided to congratulate the number two pick instead. Former
University of Oklahoma quarterback Murray, who is black, was drafted by
the Arizona Cardinals and reportedly offered a $35 million contact. He’s
also an accomplished baseball player, and was ninth in the 2018 MLB
draft. However, on Twitter the President congratulated Nick Bosa, the second pick, who was chosen by the San Francisco 49ers.
Bosa, who is white, has been criticized for releasing a number of tweets some have seen as racially charged. The tweets, which have since been deleted, describe Black Panther
as the “worst Marvel movie”; describe Beyonce’s music as “trash,” and
call former 49ers player Colin Kaepernick a “clown.” He was also criticized for “liking” many Instagram posts with racist and homophobic slurs.
Bosa
has also previously expressed his support for Trump, tweeting that
Reagan and Trump were “Goats,” meaning the “greatest of all time.”
