Yes, sports should be one of our safe harbors from politics. Sports bring people together.
100%
Most people watch sports to escape from all that.
I quite watching football immediately when they started all that nonsense.
That is like trying to keep commercials out of Televised Sports Games. There is too much money to be made to do so.
Any form of entertainment should have 0 politics.
Like , why the fuck am i being lecture about blm/feminism/lgbt in my video games? Im on the other side of the planet.
Get this shit out of my fun
I think so. It's just for entertainment. Same with Hollywood these days. It's meant to be entertaining and dare I say - gives you escapism from today's issues - but you're just being lectured and preached to with all the 'woke' talking points.
Hell yes, Sports should be and always be a neutral ground. It should only be about the sport and nothing more
Yes! And it should be kept out of everything else as well (especially science).
I agree that politics shouldn’t be mixed with sports, but ain’t it true that many politicians talk about global warming and climate change? Heck, there’s even a science called political science!
@HippieVeganJewslim Yes, and there shouldn't be. "Global warming" has nothing to do with real science, and everything to do with politics. Why do you think they're always going on about "the consensus", and that "97% of scientists agree"? Science isn't about establishing some kind of consensus, it's about keeping an open mind, exploring the possibilities, experimentation, falsification, and remaining objective at all times. If it's a "consensus" you're after, well that's politics.
Sports can be a powerful social platform. Generally speaking, I would prefer that politics stay out of sporting though.
In my opinion, yes. Politics should be left out a lot of things. But people still have their right to express themselves and I support their right to. That doesn't mean I think it's a good idea.
Yes, politics should be kept out of sports. If I wanted some political shit, I would go to a political rally or something, why would I then come to watch football?
Everybody has freedom of speech but yes BLM and both sides has ruined sports.
So if BLM ruined sports then we have to take away the anthem. The anthem is racist anyway. It’s anti freedom of speech and doesn’t benefit people of color
Human rights aren't political issues. Tax rates are.
there's making a political statement typically done on ones own then there is an agenda were its being pushed down our throats by all the powerful corporations / organizations. i support the former even if its not the position I have
we live in a free country and i guess they have a right to an opinion, to a degree, i think that this is why many celebs have social media they can talk and state an opinion too but we do not always need it to be put out on the court.
Yes it has no place! It destroys it for kids and adults!
Sports should stay as sports, in simple terms a game... keep politics out of it
Let's introduce a law that nobody can be fired because of their political opinion, like gender or age.
That will be fun.
The reason we have entertainment is to get away from the stresses of our daily life. The more of it you shove into entertainment, the more you ruin it's purpose and will get less popular.
I grew up with sports as an escape from the real world. It was entertainment and team pride. A few moments to enjoy a sport and escape the grind of work and politics. That is gone and a loss.
Keep politics off the playing field. that's not what I pay big money to see.
Off the field of sports, an athlete can say and do what he wants.
Protest on your time, not on my dime.
