Summary

For years I have been saying politics and sports don't mix, but here we are where politics seems to be intertwined in everything! It is a turn off for me and on this episode, I give some examples of what I am talking about including a recent rant I did on the USWNT and President Joe Biden's social media post. I also read an excerpt from Phil Mushnick's recent column in the NY Post. I really miss the good ole days where you could watch a game and just the game without having politics and social issues jammed down our throats. It is safe to say those days are long gone and probably never coming back. Go to: https://Nutrafol.com/men and enter promo code GRANT for $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping.
