    I seriously wish a whole lot more conservatives and “moderates” and “independents” would pay more attention to sportsball instead of voting for Republicans for culture war reasons. They definitely treat culture war/wedge issues like sportsball…

      You just gave me an idea.

      Implement voting in sports, but only for big things. Who should be LocalTeam’s coach? Who should be HomeTeam during BigGame? How much should your team splurge on the latest star player?

      They would be too busy with all of that to worry about politics.

      They’re pissed about sportsball because sportsballers started protesting while still respecting the flag by kneeling and now they refuse to watch sportsball.
