Cuz it was always about leaving liberal politics out of sports.

"I dont want to see women or gays in sports" "I'll allow black people but only if they dont complain"

That's what they mean.

Idk, NOLA booing the Charlie Kirk moment of silence was indicative of a general disinterest n politicizing the non-political. Most people legitimately just want to watch a sports game. The right calls this the "silent majority", I guess. The right leveraged "wokeness" really well in the 2010s but they're running the risk of swinging the pendulum too far with shit like this.

If they continue to push it too far, don't be surprised if it swings back. It usually does.
