"In a democracy, everything is political"-Palpatine to Anakin Skywalker
He was correct. Politics is creeping into everything, including sports, music, and religion. I'm not sure politics was ever separated from those topics. This time, Trump disinvited the Eagles to the White House because of the NFL flag controversy. It's all political theatre. They weren't going to go anyway because Trump is Trump, and Trump wasn't going to invite them in the first place because of the flag controversy. In other news, Jello Biafra won't be allowed to dine at the White House either. His invitation got lost in the mail.
This isn't a new issue. In the 90's some player from a football team didn't want to meet Clinton because his stance on abortion. The right lauded him for standing up for morality and decency. Shockingly now, the right is calling the Eagles unpatriotic not only for their stance on the flag but for not going to the White House. Like everything in life, who is a hero and who is a scoundrel all depends on what side of the aisle you are on.
