BASKETBALL NBA
El evento político de Trump fue en Duluth, Minnesota. McHale es natural de este estado, e incluso, estudió en University of Minnesota de donde fue seleccionado por los Celtics en el 3er turno de la 1ra ronda del NBA Draft de 1980. Luego de retirarse llegó a dirigir a los Lobos de Minnesota por dos temporadas, siendo coach de los Houston Rockets en cinco campañas posteriores hasta 2016.
Una de las razones que exacerbaron los ánimos de los críticos de McHale fue el contenido de los Tweets que escribió (y luego eliminó) la propia esposa del ex canastero. En uno de ellos da a entender que dejar a un hijo en un cuido de niños por 8 horas, lunes a viernes, es peor que lo que está pasando con los infantes de los inmigrantes centroamericanos en los centros de retención de la frontera estadounidense.

Aquí algunas de las reacciones en Twitter contra los McHales y Trump.
The fucking AUDACITY of Kevin McHale's wife to tweet this while her bio is a Dietrich Bonhoeffer quote I can't even BEGIN to process it pic.twitter.com/MZ7Rm8jFyC

Kevin McHale is extremely stupid for attending a public Trump event. That, as much as his politics, is why he should never work in the NBA again

I’d love to get definitive confirmation. But if Kevin McHale actually showed up to Trump’s rally in Duluth today with everything that is happening now and what Trump’s done and stands for, yeah he’s cancelled. pic.twitter.com/A99QSV56s4

Kevin McHale just became the other side of Collin Kaepernick. Hard to see him ever coaching again in the NBA.

BREAKING: Kevin McHale accepts head coaching gig in WNBA, only to quickly renege once he realized that it did not stand for "White Nationalist Basketball Association."

I'm not mad, Kevin McHale.
— Chris Walder (@WalderSports) June 21, 2018
I'm just ... disappointed.
También tiene defensores en las redes, como estos:
Good for Kevin McHale. As someone who's not very big on Trump nowadays, you should be able to publicly support whoever you want. McHale is one of the game's best players ever and it's hilarious seeing how many people are upset over this. Get over yourselves.

Kevin McHale is a multi-millionaire that sits on the lake 24/7 in Northern Minnesota. I don’t think he gives two shits about the @NBA anymore, or being seen at a Trump rally.
