One of the biggest problems w/attempts to frame this stuff as "sports & politics" is that supporting racial justice *shouldn't be political.* Hoo boy, trust me I can see that it is, but that's bc a certain group doesn't want to be confronted by the realities and legacy of racism. https://twitter.com/Ourand_SBJ/status/1319631843789049867

As soon as we concede that some subject is "political," we tacitly acknowledge that there are "merely differences of opinion."

Bullshit. I do not accept that this topic is one on which reasonable people can have different opinions.

Racial injustice? Not political.

Women's rights? Not a matter of opinion.

LGBTQ+ support and equality? Nothing political about it.

Treating humans with dignity, respect, and love? Tell me it's politics and watch me explode.
