Political rants

It don’t care what side of politics you’re on. I don’t like it when athletes get political. People watch sports for entertainment. To escape the grind of their daily life. They don’t want it ruined with politics. The same with musicians and actors. Bringing politics into it ruins it for everyone. Music has always been my girlfriend’s and my escape from the stress of life. She would put music on and just chill to tunes, sometimes for hours and hours. Music is her zin garden. Now imagine someone coming into your zin garden and putting up political posters everywhere. Now it’s no longer zin or even a garden anymore. It’s just another source of stress. Stop ruining everything with politics.

^ Yeah, I agree with this one. And the way they usually handle bringing up issues 9-times-out of-10 is done pretty awfully...especially as said famous people that usually end up talking about politics sound very uneducated with no idea what the 'little guys' (so to speak) in this world actually go through. It's like Billie Eilish making a comment during an award ceremony about how: "You can't claim someone an immigrant on their land." I'm paraphrasing cause I don't remember EXACTLY what was said, but that was basically what she said, and then it turns out her home is built on a Native Tribes land, so since she feels that way about them and their land, they asked her to give it up XD. And not saying Billie meant ill will with the comment, cause there's the possibility that she didn't even know her house was on their portion of land, but the reactions afterwards (I don't think that she-of course-responded to those Natives) make these superstars comments seem very disingenuous and insincere. Which wouldn't be surprising as most famous people sound like they just hop on the buzz words of political talk rather than actually having their own thought out opinions/arguments.

"You can't claim someone an immigrant on stolen land." I believe that’s what she said. I wish that they would just let sports be fun, movies be about the stories, and let music and art be beautiful for what it is. Politics is ugly. Why make all the beautiful things in the world ugly with politics.
