Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa faces backlash on social media after a photo of him spending time with Ivanka Trump and her family went viral. Some fans are even renouncing their support for the team following the revelation. The controversy erupted after images surfaced showing Tagovailoa and his teammate, wide receiver Braxton Berrios, hanging out with the former first daughter and her family.

While Ivanka Trump is not officially part of her father’s administration this time around, she has been seen frequently at major sporting events, including Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans and NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco. Her latest outing with the Dolphins’ quarterback has ignited a wave of social media outrage.

The reactions online were swift and intense. Many fans took issue with Tua Tagovailoa’s association with the Trump family, with some citing his history of concussions as a possible explanation for his decision to spend time with them.

“To[o] many hits to the head,” one fan commented.

Others piled on with statements like, “Did Tua win, tho?”

Another fan said, “This is why he will always be a loser”

The controversy has reached a point where some Dolphins supporters are reconsidering their allegiance to the team.

“Not a Trump fan. I am a Tua fan. Feeling conflicted,” one fan wrote.

Others were more decisive, stating they would no longer support the quarterback or the franchise.

Despite the criticism, neither Tua Tagovailoa nor the Dolphins have made a public statement regarding the situation. The quarterback, who celebrated his birthday on March 2, is coming off a challenging 2024 season in which he missed six games due to injury. With the Dolphins aiming to bounce back in 2025, it remains to be seen whether this controversy will have any lasting impact on the team or its fanbase.

Social media buzzed this weekend as fans spotted Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa spending time with Ivanka Trump and her family in Florida. The NFL star joined his teammate Braxton Berrios for a casual hangout with the daughter of newly re-elected President Donald Trump.

Ivanka posted glimpses of the gathering on Instagram, showing the Dolphins duo tossing a football with her son, Theodore, and playing chess. The photos quickly ignited a storm of reactions online, with fans expressing everything from surprise to frustration. Some criticized the quarterback’s association with the Trump family. In contrast, others turned the spotlight on his history of concussions, using the chess game as a talking point for jabs about his health.

As soon as the photos surfaced, social media lit up with divided opinions. Some fans praised Tua Tagovailoa for simply enjoying a casual outing, while others questioned his presence with the daughter of the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump.

“Not a Trump fan. I am a Tua fan. Feeling conflicted,” one fan wrote. Another added, “This is enough for me to end 40 years as a Fins fan.” The chess game photo, in particular, sparked a wave of sarcastic comments, with some referencing Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion history. “Too many hits to the head,” one user remarked, while another claimed, “Oh, he got CTE for sure.”

 

Despite the controversy, this isn’t the first time Tagovailoa’s name has been linked to the Trump family. His wife, Annah, previously sparked debate by sharing a social media post praising Trump’s housing of utility workers during Hurricane Milton.

For now, the buzz remains just that- buzz. Whether this affects Tua Tagovailoa’s public image or his reception among fans remains to be seen. One thing is certain: in the world of sports and politics, even a simple game of chess can make headlines.
