Sports and politics are two of the most dominant forms of news on the internet, with both topics have 24/7 coverage across a variety of different outlets. The two topics tend to intersect more often than not, and sports can become inherently political, like that of FIFA corruption, or Muhammad Ali’s religious beliefs and stands against fighting in the war. Adam Schefter of ESPN was quick to discuss that political viewpoints should not cross over, even though many of his posts to social media are politically backed:
"No. Politics is not a normal day-to-day topic of discussion and reporting. It does not impact how we go about our jobs. Sports figures who publicize their political viewpoints only serve to divide the audience. People are drawn to sports as an escape from politics. Even for someone like Andy Katz, who gets President Obama’s NCAA picks, Andy should not have to disclose his political views because he’s doing the interview. The focus of their interaction is basketball, not politics, as it should be. Though also allow me to say that while we’re on the topic of reporting and the White House, no President ever has invited me to make his playoff picks up to and through the Super Bowl. If whichever President is in office will have me down to Washington to do this story in January, I’m all in, Democrat, Republican, independent or any party."
