Move over, Mike Ditka. Donald Trump has another powerful backer in sports media: WFAN sports radio host Mike Francesa. The 62-year old New Yorker came out as a fierce supporter of Trump during his afternoon radio show Wednesday.

Like other TV/radio sports personalities, Francesa typically avoids politics for fear of alienating some viewers/listeners. But the day after Trump virtually clinched the Republican nomination with concessions by his two remaining opponents, Francesa did everything but yell Trump's "Make America Great Again!" campaign slogan over the airwaves.

The country needs big change, Francesa says, and Trump, the billionaire New York developer, is the guy to do it with his "America First" platform.

"The Sports Pope" says Trump can rebuild the country's crumbling infrastructure while regaining jobs lost to globalization and outsourcing. Like Trump during his stump speeches, Francesa wondered why America has to defend Europe and other allies around the globe. Hell, Francesa even threw in a reference to "robotics" sparking job losses. Not something you normally hear during the usual arguments over the Yankees and Mets.

"I think it's about doing a good job. His ego will not let him do anything but a good job," said Francesa about Trump.

Just to be clear, he told another caller he will not vote for likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Francesa cited several reasons why he thinks the ex-reality TV show host will do a better job in the White House than Clinton. But WFAN will probably face criticism from listeners who view Francesca's (and Trump's) reasoning as xenophobic and jingoistic.

Then there are the possible objections from WFAN advertisers, who get scared to death when anybody injects politics into sports.

Among Francesa's pro-Trump comments:

• Crumbling infrastructure: "This guy works 20 hours a day. He doesn't need the job. He doesn't need the money. He doesn't need the power. He had all that already. I think it's about doing a good job. His ego will not let him do anything but a good job. Because he's driven. You want someone driven in there that will do a good job. Because we need to fix things fast. Our infrastructure is a joke. I want a builder. The guy's a builder. I want a builder. Our infrastructure is a joke. Our airports are a joke. Our rail systems a joke. It's got to change. And we could put people to work there. Bring back the money that is sitting outside this country because of the tax laws. Bring it back. Tell them they have to give 5 percent to the infrastructure fund and then rebuild the infrastructure of this entire country. Railroads. Airports. Start tomorrow and build them all back up so that we have a beautiful county in 20 or 30 years for our kids. And that could put plenty of people to work at a time when we're cutting jobs right and left. And robotics is cutting jobs right and left. And going to continue to."

• Foreign investors buying up U.S. real estate: "If we don't stop that, we won't own this country soon. That's the point. Those guys laugh at us. We defend them. They come back and buy up our country. He knows because they live in his hotels and his buildings. They buy his condos. And he knows that. He's watched them laugh at everybody. And say, 'Boy, you guys are really dumb. You allow us to do this. We come back with our money, that you let us make, and basically buy your country. Buy up your debt . . . Almost all the big-priced real estate in New York City is all being bought by foreigners now. Almost all of it. Almost all of it. That's a problem. It's a problem going forward. It doesn't stop. Stuff like this, I think you need someone who think this way."

• NATO: "He's right. Why are we paying to be the bodyguard for the entire world? While those people do not pay a dollar for their own defense — then come back and buy up our country when we're in debt. Why do we allow that? Why do we allow that? Those are his mantras that no one else has brought up."

• Free trade: "Has to change. When we allowed the globalization in this country, we destroyed towns and cities in this country day by day. Since it happened. We have got to change."

Francesa's coming-out-party as a Trump supporter will no doubt make waves in the heavily Democratic, politically liberal New York City area. Just like political conservatives believe ESPN is a liberal, politically correct network for demoting Ditka and firing Curt Schilling, now some WFAN listeners will undoubtely think Francesa's show has turned into Fox News.

I warned ESPN and other media companies that it would be impossible to stop big-mouthed on-air talent from talking politics during a presidential election season. Now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Francesa's contract is up in 2017, so he probably doesn't give a crap any more about sharing his political views. He's the latest but won't be the last during this crazy election season.
