Poker legend Doyle Brunson has not backed off his criticism over former U.S. Olympian Bruce Jenner’s conversion from a man into a woman.
And, for the thousands who follow Brunson on Twitter (us included), it is certainly no secret his distain for President Barack Obama.
On Wednesday evening, Brunson added to the shock value that got him into some hot water a few weeks ago by tweeting:
Is it true Jenner donated his stones to Obama?
Stones is a slang word used to describe a man's testicles.
Brunson, who underwent successful surgery himself last month (to remove a tumor from his head), found himself headlining the home page of TMZ.com just weeks prior….and not for his poker prowess.
TMZ.com instead knocked the two-time World Series of Poker champ for tweets he had posted condemning Jenner’s sex change.
Brunson tweeted:
Bruce's transition to a woman was confirmed today. He may still be some peoples hero, but not me.
Brunson tweeted, "I can't believe Bruce Jenner is trying to become a woman? He was a hero of mine since I was involved in track long ago. #Sayitsnottrue"
Doyle continued, "this man was an Olympic champion that set all kind of records. That's a woman? My hero? Come on!"
While successful social media campaigns are typically reserved for those under a certain age (i.e. 40), Brunson has the largest Twitter following in the poker community, not counting Instagram kingpin and poker player Dan Bilzerian.
