Football great Herschel Walker is running for the U.S. Senate in Georgia. Or maybe it has nothing to do with football and it’s all about his near 40-year friendship with Donald Trump, who endorsed him. That’s why Walker’s unrelenting support of Trump, more so than his past football glory, is his best play. After all football didn’t save Gonzalez, who is retiring because he didn’t want to face Max Miller, a Trump-backed primary challenger who served as a senior advisor in his White House. But I am disappointed to see Gonzalez leave under these circumstances because some things are bigger than football.
