The evidence is clear, Americans want their politics straight up, no entertainers, entertainment shows, sports figures or sporting events, no social commentary. We go to, or watch on TV, concerts and games to be entertained, not preached at. And certainly, not to have someone else's politics shoved down our throats. Awards shows and NFL games have suffered ratings declines over just this issue. We are weary of the constant barrage of black dresses, pink hats, and people kneeling. Enough already. There is a time and place for everything. If you are trying to wear us down to change our minds, be careful of unintended consequences.
