Politics and sport

Every now and then I hear someone who claims that politics and sport should be separate.
Every now and then naïve people speak too.

Listen, when team owners stop going to the public for funds to build their stadiums.
When sports stop using their games as advertisements for the military.
When governments stop using teams as their mouthpieces, or suppressing players free expression.

Then maybe I'll consider not mixing sports and politics.

Who am I kidding?

Fight the power.
