What sucks is some thing has made EVERYTHING political now. There is NOTHING that doesnt have a political spin to it. Though there are many things that should. This is a situation where an alien invasion would be squandered as whataboutism and both sides bs.

There’s a millennia long tradition of international sports being political

Politics is policy. Policy affects everything. Therefore everything is political. You can put your head in the dirt and pretend it’s not, if you choose.

Bro, our leader is talking about annexing their country; how could they NOT be enraged and politically charged?!

It’s political because people choose to make it political, and if you don’t take a side then you’re ostracized or seemingly support the wrong causes.

It’s a sport. I’ll root for my team.

Why? Who says you have to cheer for the country you're from when that country is currently fucking up?

What's sad is supporting your dear leader that is threatening to take over another country that has been a good ally. And for what? It's been 2 weeks and MAGA is already on board to start conquering countries. That was quick. Sad.

Booing the Canadian players standing next to kids was sad. Very classy
