The other day, we told you about Major League Baseball (MLB) players using the Trump raised fist/fight gesture as a game time celebration. It marked a sea-change in MLB and political discourse: openly using something affiliated with Trump was a surefire way to get canceled or reprimanded just a few short weeks ago. Now MLB players are doing it openly.
Back when this writer reported on it she wrote, 'We're sure, somewhere, a Leftist is raging about this.'
And we've found that Leftist. The perpetually outraged Keith Olbermann, ladies and gentlemen:
He tried deleting this post, but the Internet is forever, Keith.
Olbermann needs to be locked up before he wades into a crowd of Republicans and starts shooting. He is clearly a danger to himself and society. https://t.co/zHUxJpWuW7

Every day, he becomes more and more unhinged.
Implode the stadium? Really?
Confiscate an MLB team?
Ban players for life?
He's lost his mind.
As a kid I wanted to become a sports anchor after watching Keith Olbermann & Dan Patrick on SportsCenter. That was about 30 years ago. Man this dude has lost his mind since. https://t.co/lIY3TrGL7U

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a permanent disease, and fatal to one's credibility and career.
“If only everyone were healthy & sane like me” — the voice inside Keith’s head https://t.co/YPUMjckOFV

The fact it was deleted means maybe Keith realized how insane he sounded.

Hey Olbermann, now do @nfl players kneeling during the anthem.

Idiot. https://t.co/dKjhIn4Qgo
That's (D)ifferent.
Touch grass. Or maybe even artificial turf. https://t.co/NH2KR9IIjq

Something. Just touch something that isn't your phone, Keith.
He’s not insane. This is fine. https://t.co/2yJXP0HkYO

Totally fine.
Per The Athletic, Burleson was an amateur rapper in college going by the name "Biscuit". The move represents holding a DJ's monitor headphones up to one ear. It's an inside joke that has nothing to do with politics. Also, implode deez nuts, you psychopath. https://t.co/eqiEL7bqem pic.twitter.com/GzYculjH52

Okay, we'll take this as a plausible explanation (although it seems a little like CYA), but it makes Olbermann look even more unhinged.
You seem very upset and that is because you are ridiculous https://t.co/Di9g9p8CNM

He is ridiculous, for sure.
I think Keith is the only person that when @TrollsByDennis impersonates him, the tweets are actually less sociopathic. https://t.co/Tmy7AiA6bD

Truth, as always, is stranger than fiction.
Or, in this case, more unglued.
Measured response from Keith https://t.co/OxnVzT0dw5

Measured, well thought out, and reasonable.
Not.

This made us laugh.
I really actually thought Keith was smart. Even if I don't always agree with him, I did think he wasn't a dope.

Yeah, you thought wrong, unfortunately.
