Silvio Canto, Jr. "Once again, athletes have found a receptive media establishment for all their political philosophy. I recall when they got questions about their sport: "Hey, Tom Seaver, did you think the manager was going to take you out of the game when you walked the first batter in the 9th inning?" Or "Hey, Bart Starr, did you call that quarterback sneak in the huddle or on the line?"
"Now they've all become political pundits because they know that there is a microphone waiting for their comments.
"The latest is Sue Bird of the WNBA. In the interest of full disclosure, I don't watch the WNBA and did not know this young woman's name. Nevertheless, here is Sue the self-appointed philosopher:" . . .
This author seems not to know Bird is the fiancee of purple-haired, foul-mouthed, Trump- hating US Women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe, pictured together here:
