I wouldn’t be surprised if this were simply ignorance of campaign finance laws.

The implication that only old white men want to watch sports without politics included seems awfully demeaning to...everyone else, frankly.

It’s a fantasy show that takes place in an imaginary world with dragons and wizards.
