The sports reaction to Donald Trump and his election as the United States President is not something we expected to be writing about today.
If a vote for Donald Trump is one for division, much of the world now sits united in profound anxiety.
Absurdly, the star of The Apprentice is now the leader of the free world; the Reality TV star whose election has discarded reality altogether.
Naturally, it is pretty much the only thing the world is talking about right now (aside from #ThingsLeeDid).
For those of you who say sport and politics don't mix, then take a look at how the wider sporting world reacted to the election of Donald Trump. (Christ, we can't believe we're typing that).

A £5 bet at the start of the year on Leicester to win the PL, Brexit to happen and Trump for president would have won you £12.5 million...😝

Given he deserves no respect, I refuse to use the official title of President WankpuffinI will use my own title of President Shit-Gibbon.

If you need help explaining to your kids that your president is bad guy and that opposing him is patriotic, I have some experience...

Tell them that power doesn't make someone right. That there are moral laws to fight for that are more important than the leader or his laws.

Can't believe what I'm seeing. This is so embarrassing #ElectionNight
