Yep. My bingo card just fucking sucks. Didn't have "Police called in to calm out-of-control golf hooligans".

You stay classy out there on the links, 'Murica.

The World Cup is going to be a 500 alarm tire fire. Stephen Miller’s Gestapo raiding tailgate parties is going to be a national disgrace. Let alone fans and players trying to get in and out of the country for the tournament.

I am not quite where you are, but I do miss the days when we just did generic patriotic stuff at sporting events....you know...last year. Now the bullshit is starting to infest my sports bubble and yeah it fucking sucks.

Trump shows up at the Ryder Cup. Keegan Bradley does the Trump dance. Scheffler talks about how nice he is to everybody in the golf community. DeChambeau is Trump's BFF. Fuck this shit. Yeah, I play golf. I know the community as always been Republican/conservative. But fuck you. After Trump showed up, I spent all weekend cheering for Team Europe. Not because I dislike the American players, but because of what this country's leadership stands for now. The American fans are a fucking embarassment. I'm fucking ashamed. 

Have to say that’s where I was on the RC. Always pulled for the home team especially when it was here but that was just such a bad touch in so many ways. I saw that the Euro players trolled Trump during their locker room celebration and I absolutely loved it.

And I know full well some MAGA morons are reading this and they’re contemplating saying to you/me/us that we’re “traitors.” Let me just save time for anyone who is contemplating that:

if you really think that exchange will have a happy ending for you, you’re either a bucktoothed fool or you really haven’t been paying attention.

Yeah, it’s shitty and hard to ignore. Live music is about the only distraction I have left that he hasn’t negatively impacted.

I’m a Red Sox fan. If it can’t be the Sox then I’m pulling hard for the Blue Jays to win it all. 
 

I finally quit on Longhorn football when they lined up tight formation on the goal line on fourth and goal and ran yet another QB sneak for no gain against Ohio State. I said fuck this bullshit, turned it off, and haven’t paid attention to it since. If Texas wins, great. If not, I don’t really care anymore. I had no idea we had a bye this past weekend. My life is better for it. 
 

I won’t root for an American to win anything for the foreseeable future. If you fly an American flag, I just think you are a fascist asshole. The anthem pretty much makes me sick to my stomach now. 
 

Fuck ‘em all.

I went to the Savannah Bananas game on Friday night in Houston.  After the game, one of the players got on the microphone and talked about how the goal of the Bananas is for all ages and all types of people to come together and have fun.  It's genuinely a wonderful idea, yet I looked around me and couldn't help but notice that likely 80%+ of the crowd (and 90%+ of the players) were almost assuredly MAGA and it made it hard to take the message seriously.

I don't know how to put Pandora back in her box, but god damnit I hate feeling this way about everything.

Team USA basketball was literally a Dream Team that had a fantastic run to the Gold Medal thanks to great performances by LeBron, Curry and KD. Meanwhile, these American patriots spent those whole two weeks crying about some weird fat chick at the parade and the Algerian boxer who wasn't even fucking trans

I think live music has been affected. Didn't Bad Bunny decide against an American tour because he feared ICE raids at his concerts?

A random concert is one of the few  communal experiences with all around good vibes these days.

Let's set this up correctly. 

1. Trump and MAGA infiltrated sports. Politics and sports should not intertwine. But they made it happen. 

Overall, I agree with your sentiments. My only minor quibble is that there's a long tangled history of sports and politics in this country and elsewhere.

I'm not a big fan but don't forget that the UFC is hosting a PPV on the grounds of the White House.

EDIT: If someone doesn't think that won't be a full-on Trump rally, they're crazy. You know that Trump's entrance will be nothing short of something you would see in the WWE.

You are right. I could have been more thoughtful in my OP but rushed to get it off my chest. 
 

Just needed to vent and figured there were others feeling the same way.

I'm right there with you. Believe me, there's def some compartmentalizing when I cheer on some of my teams these days.

Mark my words.  Trump will threaten NBC with Tariffs or their FCC license (they are broadcasting), the NFL with something conjured, and Apple with tariffs since they are sponsoring the halftime show.

Sure. But not quite the same as a months-long tour. I hope he uses the pub he's getting from the SB appearance to shed more light on why he didn't do that tour.

Yeah by February we may be at a point that just not saying something perceived as anti-Trump, isn't enough. You may have to thank President Trump as those in North Korea have to acknowledge Dear Leader at every turn or face the consequences.

Let's set this up correctly. 

1. Trump and MAGA infiltrated sports. Politics and sports should not intertwine. But they made it happen. 

2. Athletes/coaches being ignorant to politics is not a valid excuse anymore. The world is on fire. This country is on fire. Mass shootings weekly. ICE deportations. The economy sucks. We are in a psychological Civil War.  Tensions haven't been higher in American society in my almost 50 years on this planet. 

3. Trump's "fake news" and turning the media into the enemy has amplified the assholeness that emanates from the sports world. 

 

- Trump shows up at the Ryder Cup. Keegan Bradley does the Trump dance. Scheffler talks about how nice he is to everybody in the golf community. DeChambeau is Trump's BFF. Fuck this shit. Yeah, I play golf. I know the community as always been Republican/conservative. But fuck you. After Trump showed up, I spent all weekend cheering for Team Europe. Not because I dislike the American players, but because of what this country's leadership stands for now. The American fans are a fucking embarassment. I'm fucking ashamed. 

- Quinn Ewers wearing Trump stuff. Fuck you, man. You should know better. 

- Detroit Tiger players doing a Trump dance on the field when he was in attendance. Fuck you. He'd deport half your ballclub if he could. I laughed at their long losing streak after. 

- Coaches aggressively snapping at the media/reporters. Fuck you. Yeah, the media can be tedious and annoying. But act like a fucking professional. It's part of the gig. 

- World Cup in America? Cool, fuck you. I hope it's a failure. Same with the Olympics. 


EDIT: And how can I forget Portnoy and the Barstool Bros. Fuck you. DraftKings ads everywhere? Fuck you. Paul Finebaum might run for US Senate? Get the fuck out of here. Fuck you. 

Right there with you man. I've got 52 years rooting for the Americans in everything hard-wired into my brain -- but I think it finally came to a head during the Ryder Cup on Friday and Saturday. Trump showing up and most of the US team openly slurping him off coupled with their disastrous play led into Saturday's bloodbath and ridiculous US crowd treatment of the Euros might've ended that. I was low-key rooting for the Euros on Sunday but equal parts enthralled by the US making an amazing run back from the brink. My wife openly screamed in joy in the house when Lowry's putt at 18 found the bottom of the cup.

At least I'll go out doing something I like with people who are cool. Thankfully most of "my" musical artists are woke liberals. Most of Hollywood that is worth a shit is too.

Another positive is that my all-time favorite pro franchise (SA Spurs) was basically built by Pop, one of the most "woke" dudes in sports.

Not sure what that has to do with him not having a U.S. tour due to fears ICE would be grabbing his fans. Or, do you think the crowd at the Super Bowl is going to be full of Bad Bunny fans that aren't here legally?

God damn...

 

you went full regard with that reply.  It was a simple statement that hes not playing a tour, but playing the SB.    turn off the attack jets.

I bet his in show messaging will not be subtle just as Kendricks wasn’t and maga brains will once again lose it.

The only rendition of the SSB that I can relate to is when it is played on a musical saw. Mournful. Plaintive.
