{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins appeared to flip off Trump supporters as he drove past in a Ferrari on Arizona's I-10 highway on Sunday, according to multiple reports.
Hopkins, 28, one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, allegedly made the obscene gesture as he was driving through a miles-long caravan of Trump supporters in Glendale, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.
Photos of the alleged incident, which occurred around 1:30 p.m., were posted online by Twitter users. Some of the motorists in the caravan also accused Hopkins of recklessly driving his luxury sports car.
