Look, I’m the kind of sports fan who doesn’t like to mix governmental or political elements into the sports world.

Matt Ponatoski enrolls at Kentucky after being drafted by the Reds, per report
There’s just something inherently magical about a kid who can sling a football on Friday nights and launch a 97-mph fastball or turn a smooth double play on the diamond in the spring.
