I though don’t like mixing politics with sports—and while general human equality is a moral and ethics issue, it cannot reasonably be separated from politics in the world today.

I’m not interested in global warming during sports. Nor healthcare. Nor unfair distribution of wealth. Nor gun control. Nor abortion.

A stance in unity is powerful.
And opening week this is expected.
If it’s a season long thing, and is a talking point throughout the broadcast, as a reminder that people watching need to believe in a movement, then it’s opposite of what I believe sports should be.

And ( sad I have to do this ) as a disclaimer, this does not mean I don’t support equality, police reform, or am inherently racist."

What we really need is a thread about unity, to set politics aside and try to get along.

You need to catch up. It’s political because dubs can’t be bothered to wait 30 seconds longer to watch his sports game. Also, he might hate equality. Jury still out on that one.
