If you were anywhere near Twitter on Thursday, you probably heard about Brad Evans stepping into the political arena with a response to this almost-impossible-to-believe tweet from presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump:

Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics! https://t.co/ufoTeQd8yA pic.twitter.com/k01Mc6CuDI — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 5, 2016

This was Evans' response:

I'll play soccer for free if I can smash your face in that bowl. https://t.co/57e2Ehei0n — Brad Evans (@brad_evans3) May 5, 2016

As you might imagine, a professional athlete making such a pointed remark toward an actual presidential candidate got the attention of a lot of people. Such outlets as Sports Illustrated, USA Today and CBS Sports all picked up on the story.

Predictably, Evans' Tweet drew a variety of responses. Here are some of the more entertaining ones:

@brad_evans3 @realDonaldTrump Brad Evans - Making Century Link Field great again. — Ronaldo Simons (@RealRnldoSimons) May 5, 2016

Even fans of opposing teams took notice:

I dislike @SoundersFC but I think we're all @brad_evans3 fans now.



He's getting a round of applause next time he plays against #NYCFC here! — Tommy - NYCF (@NYCFirm) May 5, 2016

@brad_evans3 @realDonaldTrump dude. I'd wear your kit all season. And I'm a timber. — Michael Ferguson (@zippyfergu) May 5, 2016

Of course, not everyone was as impressed:

@brad_evans3 come on bro, you play soccer. — Tony DiIorio (@TD_Junior) May 5, 2016

@brad_evans3 I want to shove Hillary Clinton into a vat of tapioca pudding — Dalton Rayce Fowler (@DaltonRayce) May 5, 2016

@brad_evans3 you sound angry. They say when you can't be intelligent, make threats of violence. You are a neanderthals. — Jessica (@Scribeek) May 6, 2016

@brad_evans3 nice violence pseudo athlete. Move to Europe there are socialists all over Europe. — David Stagg (@StaggDave) May 6, 2016

@brad_evans3 @realDonaldTrump Evans, focus on tweeting about not having any money. Stay in your lane. — The Realist Mike (@BroughtTheNoise) May 6, 2016

@brad_evans3 @realDonaldTrump you do realize that if he becomes president you won't most likely be called up to the USMNT anymore right? — Jonathan Bautista (@45jonnyboy) May 6, 2016

@brad_evans3 So @SoundersFC your employees don't want Trump voters buying tickets. Physically threatening a candidate. — Athletic Investor (@Sterling91692) May 5, 2016

And the hands down winner.
