None of the sports subs are apolitical. They are (or were) karma farms for bots and astroturfers, and there's no way the admins didn't know. Half or more of their posters only used them to fluff up an account's posting history to make it look real, because most sports commentary was vapid enough that even pre-ChatGPT bots could pass for real users there.
It's tiring how many supposedly apolitical subs allow that kind of shit.
