NFL Legend Terry Bradshaw Abruptly Leaves Republican Party — Here’s Why

Former NFL star and FOX commentator Terry Bradshaw, known for his affiliation with the Republican party throughout his adult years, has recently revealed a shift in his political allegiance.

Bradshaw, a renowned Hall of Fame quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, disclosed that he has switched his political affiliation.

“I’ve been a Republican, but now I’m a registered independent. I don’t want to alienate anyone, and the minute you say, ‘I’m a Democrat’ or ‘I’m Republican,’ you’re kicking off the other side. I want the best person [in the White House], and I’ll pick the one who’s most like the way I feel,” he told bjtonline in 2020.

Bradshaw has been vocal about his opinions on contentious topics and has not hesitated to speak out.

In 2017, he publicly criticized then-President Donald Trump for his response to players kneeling during the national anthem.

Bradshaw said, “This is America. If our country stands for anything, folks, it’s freedom. People died for that freedom. I’m not sure if our President understands those rights. That every American has the right to speak out also to protest. Believe me, these athletes do love our this great country of ours.”

“Personally, I think our President should concentrate on North Korea and healthcare rather than ripping into athletes and the NFL,” he added.

Given that 2024 is an election year, it’s possible that Bradshaw will become more vocal as we approach the fall season.
