The idea that sport, or any other aspect of society, is somehow isolated from politics is ridiculous. Everything is political, and encouraging people to avoid it and not think about difficult topics is not exactly conducive to a democratic society.

The article also seems to suggest that certain types of movies should also avoid addressing political topics, which is just a bizarre take.
