You can't even talk about the weather. Hot? Global warming, we're all gonna die. Cold? Climate change, we're all gonna die. Dry spell? Hurricane in the Gulf? Only World Socialism™ can save us.
You make an excellent point. And sports is becoming off-limits because basketball team owners are bigots, football draftees are gay, Heisman Trophy winners are criminals, football team names are racist, there’s not enough diversity in the front office in football and basketball (even though practically all of the players are Black—no problem there!) and on and on.
