'My wife just now “We celebrate athletes for giving to charity and helping others. That isn’t sticking to sports and I love watching those stories during games”. Hmmm. Almost like she has a point.'

This guys is clearly an ignoramus. 1. I couldn't give a shit what charity work athletes do, 99% of the time its to sway optics away from the fact they have 18 baby mamas and just got their 8th dui. 2. I don't worship or celebrate athletes, I watch them compete and cheer for teams as a form of entertainment, the same way I dont worship actors, the dipshits that do are the provable drain on our culture. 3. Unless these athletes want every place they attend to be able to treat them based on their political ideology I'd be wary to shit all over their medium.
