[Shiver Metimbers]

It is truly a pity we can't enjoy literally anything anymore that is not infiltrated with opposite views of the culture war.

Here we completely agree. Thus my original post. I object to K and R force-feeding me their personal politics in what should be a Sports venue.

So, you posted this objection when K and R started this crap? 3 years ago? Last year? This year? Sorry I missed seeing your objection then.

Shame on both sides.

Well, from bad to worse. Kaepernick and Rapinoe forcefully and repeatedly insert their "culture war" crap into previously Sports-only venues for coming close to 3 years, Rapinoe ramps it by doing so while wearing US colors on an International stage this year...

and the one who objects to such inappropriate insertions is lumped with those doing the inserting.

Reminds me of typical modern bad parenting, "I don't care what the issue is or who started it, just stop it."

Tsk tsk. Relativism, "though I won't examine the merits of either, both sides are equally valid because held by different people" in all its inglory.
