Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell has been pushing hard for former president Donald Trump heading into Tuesday’s election.
How much is Bell really on the Trump train, though?
Well, on Saturday, he made a promise to his followers on social media.
“I’m leaving the country if Kamala Harris wins,” he wrote.
He doubled down on that on Sunday, reposting his promise, and writing, “good morning, vote Trump.”
The post, as you might imagine, drew plenty of attention.

“Do us all a favor and please leave now,” former Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel responded. “And I will ask you everyday did you leave yet.”
“I spent 13 seasons in the NFL, and of course a decade with the Steelers,” Bettis shared in a video posted to his Instagram. “We brought a Super Bowl home to Pittsburgh. I know this city, and I love this city. We work hard to make things happen. No hot air. No bull. This is what defines the Steel City, and it is the opposite of what Donald Trump stands for.
“Donald Trump has made promise after promise to the city of Pittsburgh, and time-after-time he has failed to deliver,” he continued. “And I don’t know if you have seen him lately rambling, confused, falling asleep. He’s washed up, and it’s time for Trump to hang it up. And it’s time for us to elect a leader who will fight for us. Someone who is going to roll up their sleeves and get the job done. Not just complain about it at a half-empty venue.”
Bettis then fully endorsed Kamala Harris.
