Fans were disappointed, but not surprised, after Jay Cutler endorsed Donald Trump for re-election by reposting a pro-Trump post from GOAT golfer Jack Nicklaus. On Wednesday, Nicklaus penned an endorsement and posted it to Instagram, supporting the current president.

The original message from Nicklaus that Cutler shared explains how he's just a guy "from a Midwestern middle-class family" and that he's voting for Trump because of his actions, not his tweets.

Cutler commented "never a doubt" on Nicklaus' post and reposted it to his Instagram with the same caption. He also posted it to his Story, writing "Sign Me Up." Long a social media whipping boy, it wasn't long before people pounced on te generally disliked quarterback to let them know how they felt.

A lot of the reaction focused on the double standard of Black athletes beng told to "stick to sports" whenever they wade into the political waters.

With the Jack Nicklaus/Jay Cutler endorsements -just want to point out other Trump supporters are praising them. Meaning they actually do love when athletes have political opinions! They just dont like when it’s different from theirs. Why don’t those two have to shut up and play?

Jay Cutler and Jack Nicklaus have endorsed Trump. They should shut up and stick to sports. Or, does that only apply to Black athletes?

Jay Cutler probably just meant to endorse Biden and his endorsement got intercepted and ran back for 6. pic.twitter.com/bBLxY0hID1

As an undecided voter who was waiting to see which candidate Jack Nicklaus & Jay Cutler were going to endorse today was huge for me.

Jay Cutler was famous for always throwing to the wrong team during crunch time so this makes sense for him https://t.co/ZryVquZoKi

I'm shocked — shocked! — that Jack Nicklaus (a very rich, very old white guy who has spent most of his life in country clubs) and Jay Cutler (a science-denying, anti-vaxxer putz who hangs out with Tomi Lahren) support Donald Trump. Shocked!
