I agree about the bullpen but the distraction value of sports right now is paramount.
Thanks for the suggestion. As a left of center person, I can assure you though, tolerance by avoiding an addiction to anger, hate and fear of "others" that is fostered by politicians catering to a specific part of the left-right spectrum, is not a problem for "guys" like me. I sorely miss "the Bush years" when I could have long conversations with authentic conservatives where I would end up learning something and often, modifying my views.
Now, any such attempt usually ends with me accused of loving Soros and Satan as a child trafficker and baby eater. The right has willingly encouraged and welcomed outright racists and conspiracy theorists certain of a "Deep State" to hijack their "guys" and it shows here from people who, to my embarrassment, affiliate themselves with the school where I learned how to think to debunk such crap.
