Late Wednesday, Jack Nicklaus announced his endorsement of Donald Trump for reelection as President of the United States, and that news rocked Karen Rovell to his core as he awoke this morning in his palatial basement. “This will be the most divisive thing he has ever done,” Rovell said of the endorsement.
Nicklaus endorsing Trump is actually one of the least surprising moves of the 2020 election endorsement cycle. The Golden Bear and Trump golf together. Trump named a villa at the Doral golf club after Nicklaus. Nicklaus has spoken out favorably at how Tiger Woods has handled the media when it wants him to speak badly about the president. And Nicklaus publicly endorsed Trump in 2016. It’s like Rovell’s brain has been too busy studying the baseball card market and not keeping track of the friendship between Jack and Trump.
“I like what Donald has done,” Nicklaus told CBS in 2016. “He’s turning America upside-down. [He’s] awakening the country. Is he as smooth and as politically correct as he should be? Probably not. But he’ll learn. He’s not stupid. He didn’t get where he was being dumb. I like the guy. He’s a good man. If he’s the one that’s on the ticket, then I’ll be voting for him.”
Now in the runup to the 2020 presidential election, Nicklaus says nearly the same thing he said in 2016, just on Instagram. Yet this is the most divisive thing Nicklaus has ever done? C’mon, Rovell.
It’s nice to have an old fashioned Clay vs. Rovell tweet-off so close to the election, but it seems as if Karen knows he’s outmatched in this battle. He’s bunkered down and engaged Clay as little as possible:
It depends on how and why he said he supported Biden.

I think Rovell is actually to stupid too insult..
Apparently you are right!
I feel a little sorry for Karen, he’s a silver spoon kid, theater major, who perpetually lives in the same world as sociology and gender studies professors. They are scared to death of anyone who makes an honest living.
This is the microcosm of the garbage, hypocritical LCD left. Endorsing Trump, especially with as dignified a statement as Nicklaus’, is ‘divisive’. But as long as you endorse Biden dor the RIGHT REASONS, then you’re not divisive.
Leftists live in an alternate reality.
Alternate reality is a euphemism for fantasy land
With a little research, I found that Rowell was a “theater major” at NW and after some poorly researched reports was let go by ESPiN and and hired at his current employer as a “brand.: Seems like his is a lazy mistake-prone brand.
Class statement from a great American Icon. In a battle of intellect with Clay, Karen comes unarmed.
“Pearl clutching” haha. That’s such great imagery for today where people are so fast to proclaim something “the most xyz” or “unbelievable,” etc. I just imagine an old lady from the 20’s gasping and grabbing her necklace.
5 star imagery by Clay !!!
Remind me, please: who is Rovell? An espnmsnbc guy?
Congrats, Jack Nicklaus
He’s the baseball card guy 🙂
I look forward to Karen stories at Outkick! He’s such a dweeb! 🤣🤣🤣
Why is this shocking? Jack is a business man, so is the President. Tiger was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Who do you think he’s voting for?
90% of the country outside of LA, SF, NY, and the other major liberal cities will vote for him. People aren’t dumb! Only those who live in major liberal cities that have no desire to leave are…
Keep it pushing Karen. Unemployment looms large.
Add this one to the endless list of double standards from the left.
It depends on how and why he supported Biden? It says right in the statement that tweets notwithstanding, his experience with Trump is he’s a good guy who cares about equality. But to Rovell, anyone who doesnt support a Democrat is dishonest and a racist. And that’s why its “divisive,” because “doesnt think like me” equals “bad human” to Rovell, no matter what. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is truly divisive.
I doubt Nicklaus gives a rat’s behind what Karen thinks. Rovell is beyond pathetic. Get a life, loser! How is LeBron endorsing China Joe not “divisive”? Karen can’t STAND it when anyone takes a position contrary to his beliefs.
I looked up this guy and saw I already had his Twitter account muted lol
Jack Nicholas is the definition of class and grace. This pathetic Karen Rovell is a pathetic leftist talentless hack spewing the lines of hate and stupidity he is fed.
I’m not on Twitter, and I’m sure not going to get on it to follow where this conversation wound up going, but honestly, what in JN’s statement is ‘divisive’? I guess that’s why it’s ‘great’ to be a leftist: you don’t actually have to back up your argument, you just need ‘feelz’.
I agree with Jack but how come every article I see on here I get a request to sign a petition to have Amy Coney Barrett to resign
It must be time to stuff Rovell in the locker again.
Palatial basement. Good one.
I was an Arnie guy but god bless Jack! Vote Trump.
Jack is an awesome legend. He’s 💯 % American and that’s why he supports 45. The socialist left is bummed because so many folks are starting to come out and endorse our POTUS. They are beginning to lose the culture war and that’s a very good thing! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You went after an 80 year old man who is the Babe Ruth of golf. Actually, he’s the Jack Nicklaus of golf. Well done Karen. Perhaps you’ll return to relevancy in 2021.
I assume eighty-year-olds do not matter. Perhaps Darren should live a few more years and see if he can accomplish what Jack Nicklaus has. Never attack a class act like Jack.
Good thing Jack lives in Florida. If he was in New York, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, the local gauleiter might have sent him to one of their TDS-19 death camps.
Rovell went fishing for reflexive validation from the social media mob.
Clay called that ish out.
Somebody has to be a man these days.
