Donald Trump, the New York billionaire who is insulting and posturing his way to the forefront of the 2016 presidential race, just secured a high-profile endorsement … that pretty much no other candidate would want. Days after Sarah Palin threw her name in with Trump’s lot, former MLB reliever John Rocker, reviled in The Apple for his extraordinarily racist characterizations of the 7 train, also said he supports Trump.

Rocker’s endorsement may be enough to sink his candidacy, but if it’s not, here are five athletes who would be.

TMZ Railroaded Holly Holm Into Supporting Trump

Hulk Hogan

Once the definition of a “real American,” Hogan was essentially erased from WWE lore after comments about black people he made in bed, while canoodling with a friend’s wife, hit the internet.

“I don’t know if Brooke was f**king the black guy’s son. I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am racist, to a point. Fucking ni**ers. But then when it comes to nice people and s**t, and whatever…I mean, if she was going to fuck some ni**er, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall ni**er worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking ni**er.”

Dirk Nowitzki Does A Perfect Donald Trump Spoof

Wowwwwww. He wouldn’t be doing Trump any favors.

O.J. Simpson

Simpson’s name is in the news again because of FX’s upcoming series about his murder trial. So that’s not great. On top of most of the world believing he killed his wife, and then him writing a book about how he would’ve done it “if” he wanted to kill her, he wound up in prison anyway for robbing sports memorabilia at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel.

Granted, he said the memorabilia was his to begin with, but that’s not how you’re supposed to do things. O.J. wouldn’t give Trump any “juice” in this election.

Rajon Rondo

Rondo’s a pretty moody guy, not particularly friendly, and there’s just something detestable about a point guard who makes only 56 percent of his free throws. But where he really lost people was when he attempted to out a gay referee by the name of Bill Kennedy, by loudly saying on the court that Kennedy was a “mother**king fa**ot.”

A lot of Republicans may not be fully on board with gay rights, but most decent people and agree, universally, that that’s not a very nice way to talk to someone.

Riley Cooper

Riley Cooper made himself look REALLY bad when he dropped a big, fat N-bomb at a Kenny Chesney concert while challenging an indeterminate amount of black men. But what may be the real kicker is that Chip Kelly liked him!

Kelly saw fit to let go of or trade LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson, and Jeremy Maclin, but keep Cooper. The way Kelly’s tenure in Philadelphia ended, you’re better off having that guy NOT like you.

Michael Vick

Vick’s done a lot to rehabilitate his image, but to a vast amount of Americans, he will simply be the evil man who had a hand in making dogs viciously fight to the death, and killing the ones that couldn’t do it effectively. He served more than two years in prison, and blew a $100 million contract, and he still won’t get a pass. Trump wouldn’t want a guy like that on his side.

You can mess with all kinds of people, but you are cooked if you mess with dogs.
