Its 2020; most of America has become hyper-politicized. Those who arent political are few and far between. Therefore generally when people say they want politics out of sports or whatever are usually conservatives that dont agree with said politics being injected. Now if Lebron was wearing Trump 2020 on his jersey, these same people wouldnt be having this issue

The analogy isn't that "you need both these things to live", it's that "you can't avoid either of these things if you're alive".Well I can avoid the politics in sports by not watching sports. I did watch the Tyrone/Colby fight and after seeing what an above user posted Im glad I didnt watch the press conference.

Yes, we do need people with voices that can potentially reach millions to speak out against injustices, because average people generally go unheard.Wow, it's a good thing these multi millionaires are making things known because so little attention got paid to George Floyd's death otherwise. These "protests" are people with far more resources and contacts trying to tell the average paycheck to paycheck guy to feel bad because they would rather a mob decend on Washington than ask how much good their salaries could do in direct philanthropy. --- ...

Which sporting event or fictional movie/TV show is currently nothing but anti-Trump/pro-Democrat propaganda? How many times is "Trump bad" mentioned per NFL quarter? Sorry, I don't watch football. A lot of movies have a Trump stand-in as their villain or a group of Maga types are their bad guys. I don't mind seeing Trump get eaten by a velociraptor, but I'm not interested in watching a show where the hero goes toe to toe with white supremacists in red hats either. I'm not offended, mind you. It's just "I hate the same people as you do," is not a selling point for me. I'm more of an "I'm entertained by the same things you are," type of guy. It also doesn't help that I usually find the villain to be the most entertaining character and that I don't find Trump and his cult particularly interesting. It's like taking a movie where the heroes fight Nazis and asking, "What if the Nazis were all rednecks instead?" I don't know about you, but I'd much rather see an Indiana Jones type punch out a Nazi officer than Billy Bob who loves fishin' and hates inclusion. --- 2020 going to be a CE kind of year ~ Panthera ...

Also they don't idolize athletes to the point they need them to tell them what to believe and what's going onMore specifically they don't like to be preached to about messages that fall outside their norms. Like several people (including myself) ITT have pointed out, US sporting events very commonly feature the national anthem, statements of support to the troops, etc. The US is a country that has been at war for all but a couple of years of its entire existence, and people that "don't want politics in their sports" seem perfectly fine swallowing continued statements of support of this enormous war effort --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent ...

Messages like "support the troops" are so ingrained into what's normal in America, so people don't think about it. It's absolutely political though. So when people "don't want politics" in their sports or games or whatever, what they're really saying is that they don't want something that is so far from their norm that they see it as politics rather than some natural confirmation of their world view. To them messages of supporting the troops or the national anthem aren't political.

Similarly people aren't outraged at all when Pentagon funds movies that glorify military service (like Captain Marvel) because to them it's just a depiction of the military but they're outraged af when movies feature women slightly stepping outside of the norm (like Captain Marvel) because that then seems somehow more deliberately political. When actually both things are equally political, it's just that one doesn't challenge norms and the other one does. Guess which one people are provoked by the most
