sports and politics

Sports and politics go right a long hand-in-hand. As for athletes taking political stances using media sources, they have every right to do so. However, like i've read in quite a few blogs, these athletes should take educated stances meaning they should have a good deal of knowledge of the topic at hand. Just going out there and rambling a couple facts here and there really doesn't do much. Right a long with that however, a lot of athletes today are huge players in in our world and what they say weighs quite a bit more than if i made a political stance or comments. Going off that topic, i'm liking the fact that Rush Limbaugh was taken out of the running for the owner of the Rams due to a lot of players taking a stand and speaking out against it. He had made a lot of racist comments about African Americans and for people to take a stance on that is the correct thing to do.
