Wow - this is next level stupidity.

I don't think this is the picture that people are painting. What's being said is that the problem is systemic rather than individual.

That's because America as a whole is drastically to the right compared to most countries in the world. Our whole sense of scale is off kilter Edit: those things that you mentioned are what should be defined as "politics". I have no problem with you holding those beliefs even if I oppose all of them, and I don't need you to believe otherwise, even if I'd prefer it. That's not what's being referred to as "politics in sports" most of the time though.

Politically speaking fiscal discipline and standing against Russia are more center-right policies. IF you're looking for an example of that in American politics, the closest would be the Democratic Party. Globally speaking however, "far-right" is much more about nationalism, anti-union sentiment, corporatism, religious extremism, "traditional values", elimination of economic safety nets, and imperial practices.

The data suggests this is false

Imagine being this openly racist.

I'll watch double for you. What's the moment of silence for?

No not at all.

Sure, I would too, but unless it's the patriots or the Bucs that win it, it will be looked at as illegitimate forever. I don't want to be the team that wins a half a championship. Edit: Chiefs, Niners, Steelers, Packers, and Ravens probably get a pass too.

I've been feeling less and less into it since we lost the Seattle game in 2016. The decisions made in 2017 and 2018 just pushed me further down that road. The Bills used to be one of the most important things in my whole life. It would bother me all week when they lost and I'd get a huge high from it when they win. I hadn't missed a game since I was old enough to talk. Now, I watch, and I hope that they do well, but it just isn't the same. I think the drought took something from me that I won't ever be able to get back. With COVID going on, it's a whole different level. I honestly don't care if they play at all this year. I'd kinda prefer that they didn't. What an awful year to win the Super Bowl.

Do they support a racist leader? Then they are a racist, or at least it's not a deal-breaker. You seem to be confused on the word systemic. It has nothing to do with what people believe. It has to do with how the police behave, how schools behave, how courts behave, how juries behave and are selected, where money is spent, etc. Systemic racism is a system that disproportionately targets or ignores people based on their race.

That's the job. You can't handle it without murdering people, because you're scared, don't sign up. Unlike being black you can quit at any time, or never sign up to begin with. It's a pretty easy decision.

Cue the YouTube "research".lol

Im sorry, we just cant possibly live like the rest of the first world that doesn't murder people? Why not?

Because cops never lie. Are you sure that's not a banana? I guess folks have been shot over holding sandwiches too. Also, if it was a knife, I don't care. If it was a gun, I don't care. If it was a grenade, I don't care. If you can't do your job without murdering your employers, you shouldn't have one.

Systemic racism is not dependent on the opinions of the populace but rather the machinations of the system.

He's a cop. What do you expect?

The only people that are divided on this are racists.

Gee, I wonder why?

There's a pretty wide chasm between "politics" and people that look a specific way are being murdered by the government.

That is precisely the problem. You believe something doesn't exist, without evidence, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

*clears throat* What? So, you aren't opposed to politics in sports, just the ones you disagree with.

You do? At least 30% of the country is actively trying to keep it alive and well, maybe more.

You're gonna run out of sports and entertainment in pretty short order. It's not the 50's anymore. Then you don't need to watch. I promise, you won't be missed.

you're clearly already there.
