Former Philadelphia Phillies star, Lenny Dykstra takes a shot at Jill Biden for bringing bad luck to Philadelphia teams
Lenny Dykstra is in the limelight again, but as usual, it's for all the wrong reasons. Dykstra doesn't seem to to to be able to get out of his habit of getting on the bad side of the media.
Dykstra is known for his political views, which side with the Republicans. He has often demonstrated his dislike for the Democrats. One such occasion came recently when on 23 April 2023, Dykstra tweeted a roundabout compliment to the Sixers.
On 22 April 2023, the NBA team Philadelphia 76ers went against the Brooklyn Nets. The team won the series with an amazing sweep of 4-0 in their favor. As many were congratulating the team, Dykstra was also one of them. However, with his congratulations, he also ended up insulting the wife of the US president, Joe Biden. Dykstra implied that Jill Biden, the US president's wife, would bring bad luck to the team
"Congratulations to the @sixers on sweeping the Nets in the first round. Hopefully it won’t get all fucked up in the Finals, like with the Phillies and Eagles, by the curse of DOCTOR Jill Biden showing up."
Lenny Dykstra did not make such a statement for the first time. In 2022, he made similar statements when Dr. Jill Biden went to see the game.
"Better luck next time, #Phillies. Might be better off rolling out that red carpet for Lenny Dykstra instead of Dr. Jill Biden. (9 hits in 3 games since she showed up.)"
It is certain that Dr. Jill Biden will be coming to any of the upcoming NBA games. So any speculation that Lenny Dykstra has made will remain just that, speculations.
