Besides do we really need politics in every facet of our lives.  Don't we need water cooler talk that we can all talk about that doesn't have a political bent.    Making sports political just further tears away at society.

And if you do not want to go or watch the NFL then you can make that choice.   Either way the rest of us shouldn't have to be burdened with your or anyone else's politics.   We go to watch football that should be politically neutral.

By making everything political it just tears at the fabric of our country.  Everyone needs a break.

It's been a mess.  

I have zero respect for anyone who injects politics into sports.

Besides don't you think it's a mess when your ravens have to dance around whether or not they are going to sign this guy as a backup?  They have poll people before signing a player?  

Has the ravens owner ever polled fans when signing a free agent?  

They have to do this stuff now or face being called a racist by some media member, SJW, or BLM.    

It's just dumb, unnecessary, and shouldn't be in sports.    The NFL should not have even soft stepped this.... just fine people for not standing with the team..... they fine for everything else.

Recently the burka nonsense has soured the summer olympics, which it a shame since it's my favorite.
