Dear Timberwolves fans,
Karl-Anthony Towns made headlines today:
“Our President was given a layup: Denounce white supremacists. And he couldn’t.”@KarlTowns on Charlottesville: https://t.co/Og0JVYs1Vl pic.twitter.com/w8EVumTEaC

Or at least here in the Twin Cities, but that’s beside the point.
The point is Karl-Anthony Towns expressed his displeasure with recent political events, denouncing the ugliness that divides Americans.
Here’s how the fans reacted:

Thank you for this statement of beliefs and of understanding. I too am from Minnie and appreciate your speaking out.

Jeez Karl, yet another reason why we love you here in MN! You are wise beyond your years.

Of course, like any political comments from a public figure—think recent events in the NFL—you’re going to get the opposite reactions:
Don't become that guy. You saw where this got Hilary when Lebron did it #nowhere

Before you agree or disagree, remember this: as Americans, we were blessed with the constitutional rights to express ourselves.
This is how our democracy works. And today, the reactions from Timberwolves fans have been overwhelmingly supportive.
Myself included.
