This is certainly a take, and definitely in the running for the worst take of 2024.

And, yes, it's real:
The Democratic Party is presenting football as a symbol of the kind of teamwork needed to take down Donald Trump, argues @EdgeofSports. The embrace of football is rattling conservatives, but it may cost Democrats young progressive voters.https://t.co/2WSs0snLln

It may seem like the Democrats are playing offense. That certainly fits a sports cliché, but it gets the underlying political dynamic backward. Football—and the reclamation of patriotic symbology—is pulling the Democratic Party to the right. While the left never had a coordinated plan to sink pro football, the last decade’s exposure of the sport’s corrosive nature is a good thing. People have the right to know the negative physical and psychological effects that can arise from playing the most popular sport in the country. Football and medical whistleblowers have exposed a right wing willing to look away from public health if it means pats on the back and campaign dollars from the reactionary billionaires that run the NFL.

Never, in the history of humanity.
Yeah dog @EdgeofSports you kinda do deserve to get clowned on for this.
“The democrats embrassing football is bad because football is bad”
Also football: literally the most popular sport in the country, and damn near every single most popular televised event in the country.

We never said the staff at The Nation were smart.

Yes, they did.
Are they claiming Walz makes them pro-football?
I taught 5 classes over 2 years at a community college. I also was a lobbyist for 20 years.
Am I a professor? Or a lobbyist? https://t.co/artFrFn0mJ

Again: we never said The Nation writers were smart.
The left isn’t hard to figure out. At its core, it’s about destroying everything you enjoy. That happens by hyper-politicizing all aspects of life. https://t.co/O28b0aqD32
