Kevin ‘Hercules’ Sorbo got shot down in flames with one hilarious response
Kevin Sorbo, the actor most widely known for playing Hercules in the hit series, is a right-wing fundamentalist Christian, with a soft spot for Donald Trump, a bee in his bonnet about gun laws, and a flag to fly for free speech*.

How the hell am I still alive? I breathe freely, hug family and friends, don’t social distance, and accept cash as a form of payment. Guess I’m just a walking miracle, anyone else?

He recently waded in on the row about the Lil Nas X ‘Satan shoes’, which contain a drop of human blood and appear to have outraged the entire Republican Party.
The side saying “If you don’t like Satan shoes, don’t buy them,” is the same side that boycotts Chick-fil-A for being Christian.

Although some people agreed with him, there were a lot more simply facepalming.

It was two days after that tweet that he said he is no longer watching MLB. What a tool.

we don’t boycott Chick-Fil-A because they’re Christian…we boycott them because they’re homophobic

This is why everyone knew instinctively that Xena was better
And finally – a possible explanation.

Did they have budget cuts on Hercules and couldn’t afford stunt doubles? He seems like he’s had his bell rang a few dozen times.
