Never understood why we have the national anthem at sport events.

I have no problem with either, but can you seriously not see a difference between a player doing something in the offseason vs protesting on the actual field?

Do you not see the difference between introducing a racist rapist felon who bombs kids versus protesting systemic racism?

Strawman. If there’s such a difference then don’t group them all as “politics in sports”

If you’re going to project your own values onto others’ and call it hypocrisy when they don’t line up, that’s stupid and Incoherent

My point simply is that pretending introducing a racist, rapist, felon, likely war criminal, wannabe-dictator at a political rally isn’t significantly worse than protesting systemic racism, a massive issue for Black Americans, is framing that is highly reductive and, to me, absurd.

I’m not the one that grouped the two into the same category as “politics in sports” They are different. You can’t reduce them to the same category and then say how different they are. One is bringing politics into sports, and the other is an athlete doing something political in their free time.

I never reduced them to the same category. That was OP lmfao. I’m a different person? I’m #4? What an athlete does in his free time is certainly bringing politics into sports, its front page ESPN news, all the sports anchors are talking about it, Giants players are being asked about it Pretending it has no impact on the sports world and isn’t “bringing politics into sports” is stupid semantic bullshit that doesn’t even withstand basic scrutiny

Why are you commenting if you’re not either agreeing or disagreeing with OP? You decided to reply to MY reply to OP. You’re adding absolutely nothing. An athlete holding an “I voted” sticker is “bringing politics into sports” but that’d be idiotic for people to criticize and they don’t. This became a locker room story only when Abdul Carter decided to criticize his teammate publicly.

Idk, I think it’s weird for people not to criticize introducing a racist, rapist, felon, likely war criminal, wanna-be dictator at political rally. What about you?

That wasn’t the point OP made nor what anyone else was discussing. Thank you for your opinion.

I assume you’re dodging the question because your answer is “no” 😂
