These friggin liberal sports reporters don’t get it. I work with and have friends in the New England area and the majority of them are libs and Pats fans. Some of them have said “what the heck does this have to do with football” - immediately taking Brady’s side. My response has been “the media politicizes everything, you’re only seeing it now, welcome to the normal”. It’s been enough that some of them have rethought President Trump and others have awoken (a little).
It’s not mere politization. It’s a fascist feeding frenzy.
