Truth!
I used to routinely discuss pro sports with my colleagues at work. The latest NBA or NFL news or games or whatever.
Not anymore. In the corporate world, controversial subjects like politics or religion are avoided. Since pro-sports is now an anti-American divisive political hot potatoe - we don't talk about team sports anymore.
That’s a great point I hadn’t even considered; politicizing sports has made it an untouchable topic - thank you Colin Kaepernick!
Over the decades I’ve watched baseball just disappear from the radar in discussions, as older white Americans attrited out of the workforce; younger Americans regard it as almost as foreign as soccer now.
Dan Quayle, is that you?
