Luis Moreno Jr., 42, had served with his uncle Jaime Moreno as the play-by-play radio announcer since 2010. The pair were known internationally for their energetic calls of exciting plays by Panthers players. Moreno Jr. emigrated from Mexico at 14 years old, and he became an American citizen in August.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After researching American politics online, he &#8216;found out that there are a lot of things that are happening that I wasn\u2019t aware of that make me support [Trump].'&#8221; So he\u2019s out. &#8220;Moreno tweeted a post in support of Trump from his private Twitter page in April. This prompted Eric Fiddleman, who manages radio and television for the Panthers, to contact him and request that he remove references to the Panthers from his account.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-364174\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-091520-Panthers-Helmet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-091520-Panthers-Helmet.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-091520-Panthers-Helmet-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-091520-Panthers-Helmet-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>&#8220;At this time, Moreno was not under contract with the Panthers. As an independent contractor, he is not employed during part of the off-season. But he complied, scrubbed his Twitter bio of Panthers content, and updated it to reflect his support of Trump. &#8216;Listen &#8230; I\u2019m not even under contract right now. I am not willing to participate in this project anymore if I\u2019m going to be censored,\u2019 Moreno said. &#8230; &#8216;I\u2019m hurt because this has nothing to do with my performance on-air. This has nothing to do with how good I am at what I do. I\u2019m one of the best, and I\u2019ll put myself against anybody in country when it comes to what I do in Spanish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wow.
