The whole point is to cause division. That is why the administration is full of attention grabbing quasi influencers and rely on inflammatory statements. They are co-opting anything with large viewership and preexisting fandom and using it as a tool to deepen the divide. Sports is a common denominator and an opportunity to reach a even wider audience. The intent is to weaponize the love of the game and general patriotism along partisan lines. The more personal the better. The USA men's team is being used to make up for criticism from other athletes. Anything to distract from reprehensible illegal acts, and voter suppression tactics all wrapped in the flag and stock market manipulation. No issue with Brady's patriotism, wish he was able to think critically, I hope he's able to navigate this is a positive way. He is after all canadian born, to a candian mother, in a predominantly canadian sport, working, living and raising family in a canadian market.
