No need to stop enjoying sports.....just put it in perspective...
Spectator sports is one of many aspects of modern Western culture that has become increasingly more juvenile and vulgar over the past 50 years.....and at the same time....more preening and self important
The same applies to movies....TV..... popular music..... advertising......and most unfortunately.....how strangers interact with each other in public...with more cursing....more road rage....and a general "cultural slumming" mentality.....where everyone aspires to act ghetto.....to show how hip they are
The political stuff is purposely added to the mix to excuse all the vulgarity and childishness......this moment of silence by the Timberwolves is a good example......"let's pay our respects to a Left wing activist who's on the 'right side of history'...and then let's get back to dancing like monkeys and making gang signs if the camera shows you on the big screen during a timeout"
