How do you feel about sports figures espousing their political views in a sports forum?

Asked by Caravanfan (13530points) March 24th, 2022

I’m talking left or right. This question is precipitated by Manny Machado, a Latino baseball player, wearing a “Go Brandon” T-shirt today at a baseball media event. Of course Twitter went apeshit.

So how do you feel about sports personalities (which can be generalized to music, movies, etc) letting people know where they stand? Or are you a “shut up and play” kind of person if that individual does not conform to your political views?

(My personal opinion, as an anti-Trumpist and a Biden supporter is that I give zero craps about what Manny wears although I do think it’s a stupid distraction).
