As he embarks on his journey to womanhood, Bruce Jenner has the support of Kim Kardashian and his entire family.
But the same cannot be said of Doyle Brunson.
In a Tweet we didn’t exactly see coming, the legendary poker player went online this weekend and express disdain for Jenner’s decision to change genders.
“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,” Brunson Tweeted yesterday.
Jenner, of course, won the Gold Medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics.
He had a long, impressive, nationally-acclaimed athletic career prior to becoming a punching bag on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
“this man was an Olympic champion that set all kind of records. That’s a woman? My hero? Come on!” Brunson added.
As you might expect, his viewpoint prompted some major outrage on social media, but the 81-year old didn’t back down in the face of criticism.
“He may still be some people’s hero, but not me,” concluded the two-time World Series of Poker champion.
Jenner is set to open up about his sex change via an upcoming interview with Diane Sawyer.
A new report, meanwhile, claims Jenner has known about his gender preference since the age of five, but he’s always hidden it from his children.
