Move over, Mike Ditka. Donald Trump has another powerful backer in sports media: WFAN sports radio host Mike Francesa. The 62-year old New Yorker came out a fierce supporter of Trump during his afternoon radio show Wednesday.
Like other TV/Radio sports personalities, Francesa typically avoids politics for fear of alienating some viewers. But the day after Trump virtually clinched the Republican nomination with concessions from his two remaining opponents, Francesa did everything but yell Trump's "Make America Great Again!" campaign slogan over the airwaves.
