Frankly, I think we need more politics in sports. I won& #39;t be satisfied until every player releases a policy platform, and until every team uses sporting events themselves to promote a political cause I personally support.
Now, I hear you saying that you just want to watch professional athletes perform in their area of expertise. That sports should be about sports. But that& #39;s just because you don& #39;t understand that everything should be political. EVERYTHING.
I will only buy sneakers that carry slogans I like. I will only buy HVAC parts sold by companies with CEOs who agree with me. I demand that my barista declare his support for my favored causes. And if these people disagree, they are symptoms of everything wrong with the system.
America can& #39;t truly be what it should be until everyone agrees with me publicly, and with the proper inflection and volume level and level of sincerity, as adjudicated by me. That& #39;s because I stand for tolerance and empathy and acceptance and love.
