For me i would have to say that politics and sports are two different things still in their own way. The thing is, is that a lot of time sports becomes involved in politics, just like sometimes politics become involved with sports. There are many examples of this. Like, Obama filling out brackets for the NCAA, or Rush Limbaugh wanting to become part owner of the Rams. There easy accessibility to these things and thats the way society is set up. I do not think it is a bad thing by any means, it just very interesting how we view things. If i were watching a sporting event i would probably not sit there and think there are a lot of politics happening here. You do not really notice until you stop and think about the rules and all of the other small things that come with sports.
