I did not think athletes should make political statements because they can influence people to easily. Sports should be a distraction from politics and world affairs. Athletes can get involved but on there own time. As a fan, I personally do not care what an athletes think about a certain issue because what do the actually know. I want to see athletes performing during the game and talking about what happen during the game after it is over Not what there political views are on Obama or anything else for that matter.

I think you make a lot of good points here, but to say that athletes don't deserve to voice their opinion is wrong.Granted they must understand their impact on peopel but that doesnt take away from their right to speak freely. Further sometimes being an athlete put people in a powerful position to influence others. Positive example could be supporting the war, or religious beleifs, etc.
