Simply out,when we attend a game,watch a game on TV or buy an NFL T-shirt we're not thinking about politics.
But when politics are shoved down our throats we tune out...as evidenced by Levi Stadium last Thursday night.
Sally Jenkins is a wonderful judge of character, an astute observer on what is real, commendable and admirable in sports and life. Why, she ghost authored “Its Not About the Bike”, the adoring “true” life story of drugs cheat Tour De France “winner” Lance Armstrong. A real stand-up gal, Jenkins continued to defend Armstrong against charges of performance enhancing drug use after it was evident from numerous press reports that he had won on the basis of drug cheating (a good rider, but not a climber or a winner until he used the PEDs and he certainly would never have made $ 150 million). Jenkins finally shut her mouth about Armstrong’s “innocence” when he made his public confession on Oprah. She’s a real model for honest reporting and we must all listen to her when she unloads on the “dishonest” Trump.
