Houston just went wild — and this time, it’s not about baseball.
Astros star Kyle Tucker shocked fans and the media today when he called for students across the country to walk out of school in protest over ABC’s decision to cancel Jimmy Kimmel’s show.
Tucker posted a fiery message to Instagram:
“FREE JIMMY KIMMEL. If you believe in free speech, stand up. Walk out. Make them hear you.”
Within minutes, Tucker’s post went viral, with thousands of comments flooding in — some calling him a hero, others telling him to “stick to baseball.”
Even his teammates were reportedly stunned. One Astros insider said:
“Kyle’s usually a quiet guy, but this clearly hit a nerve.”
Fans are now debating whether an MLB star should wade into the late-night TV drama — but one thing’s for sure: Tucker just made this controversy national news.
