NO POLITICS

[HuskyNan]

How many times do I have to say it?

What do you get when you mix a Democrat with a Republican? Why do you think I want to hear about it on The Boneyard? Most of us come here not to talk about that stuff.

Thank you

You shouldn't have to, it's only the first rule posted under the Boneyard Rules.

I wish they had the same rules in the sports themselves. I want to watch sports without the politics added.

Evidently you don't watch ESPN.

Evidently you don't watch ESPN.

Only if the Cubs or UConn Women's basketball are being shown. If they start with the politics I can always press the mute button.

It would help if the government officials would stay out of sports themselves.

Politics and sports are almost inseparable now. Players wear political statements on their team apparel. Teams openly campaign for or against political candidates. Players are forming political union-like groups to negotiate their grievances and gain new benefits. Politicians rail about whether schools should open and teams should play or not, whether the corona virus is a real threat or a hoax, how what sports do will affect the economy and the political future of one or both political party's candidates, etc. Not sure this will change anytime soon.

I think you probably mean "partisan politics." Politics is just the mechanism we use to allocate resources in this country.
