Why do people/ the media have to make things political


I mean right now the us women's soccer team is playing for the world's cup.

We are all aware of a certain member on the team and her political opinions..
Yes i could care less if she kneels.

So why can't this just be about the celebration of women and soccer?
Why does it have to inject the sexual orientations of the players into the mix?...I could care less if they like dick or va-jjs.
But the media is obsessed with the fact that some are lgbtqt? Can we get yet another pic of them kissing
Do they obsess so about the male players sexual orientation?

Second...ofcourse the media stirs the pot and ask the players if they are going to the white house.
Knowing full well the response they would get.

Knowing full well trump would tweet about it.

So now the world cup isnt about women..or soccer..but the pro and anti trump supporters. Now people are loving or hating the team based on stupid baited questions or tweets.

I mean it was already pretty bad when the media tried to use this team as a metaphor for women in general..
Like they didn't get paid like men,didnt have the same kind of security or field conditions etc..
Basically making them a victim...
When in reality the team is primarily composed of entitled priveledged white women of means.
No one dare ask about diversity....like where are the black players?
Oh wait there is one..from Beverly hills.
How about latinas?...I mean this is soccer..where are the latinas?..

Diversity for them means featuring the lesbian front and center in every pic on yahoo.

This is a dream team that is overstocked with talent...which should win without any problem. Basically they are tom brady..

But then again noone wants to see tom brady win...in fact we hate tom brady.
i mean the us team scored 13 goals on the little sisters of mercy...
And then celebrated like they were 10 yrs old..not a good optic.

..so the media needs to create additional drama to keep us watching this borefest.

The US women win another round...golf clap...it's like lebron James playing against high schoolers in a pick up game..

So now it's about getting to go to the Whitehouse? Really?
I really wish presidents would stop this practice..
It's not about liking or hating trump..

But athletes make a mockery over the whole invite.

Meanwhile hard working taxpayers would be overjoyed at such an invitation..they are never given this sorta access..imagine if you could just sit with a standing president and talk.

The media needs to stick to soccer period...

Because that is what the consumer (the American public, the Canadian public, etc.) wants. Politics is a big seller in the entertainment business these days, and folks demand to be entertained 24/7.

It's a right pain in the arse for us old-time newsies. Even the blandest of stories needs embellishment to sexy it up, according to the people who tell us what to do or who pay us.

Me, I simply cast overly political posts and posters into Iggy Hell after several infractions and warnings. There's a point at which it all becomes trolling.

I will watch the Soccer game tomorrow and the hell with what someone else thinks. These women are representing the US and are damned good soccer players. Do I watch male oriented sports.....you betcha......Go Steelers !

I'm an equal opportunity sports fan and ignore the hype and all the bull.....

1157403 it's what they do. it's important for them to control the narrative and tell everyone how to think and what to think. it's all about control.
