Op-ed

Life’s not the time to talk about politics

by Robert Griffin III

Last week, the Pentagon momentarily erased Jackie Robison’s legacy online before reinstating it. During the controversy, Republican ex-NFLer Robert Griffin III said Robinson overcoming racial barriers had nothing to do with U.S. politics since sports and politics don’t mix.

Here to explain’s Robert Griffin III.

I just hate it when liberals get all debate-y about gun control. Debating this after school shootings just isn’t the right time. Or in-between massacres. Maybe during, I’m open-minded.

And everybody keeps bringing up politics just as willy-nilly. Take the color barrier. Barriers keep people outside of the political process. So barriers means outside of politics … BOOM, not political!

That was pretty good, but I’ll keep going.

What’s so political about sports? Teams representing cities or countries. Since when do geography and politics mix?!! Are flags and national anthems suddenly political, too? Haha

Thinking’s free, you guys.

Some stuff are political, sure. Office cliques, that’s political.

So is buying property, at Monopoly.

Or Apple’s apps’ privacy policies since it’s almost the word politics.

Other than that, let’s just enjoy air, food, speech and entertainment regulated by governments we voted for and leave life out of politics!
