Dear Athletic Support: I love watching professional sports with my kids. Itâs been a tradition of ours for as long as I can remember. But lately things have gotten so political in the sports world (basketball, especially) that itâs really hard for us to just sit back and enjoy the games. My kids are teenagers now. They have viewpoints that are different from my own. In some ways, Iâm proud of that. Proud that theyâre becoming their own people with their own ideas on how the world should work. But I must say it makes for some pretty uncomfortable moments when these political issues arise during sporting events. I just donât understand why athletes and their organizations have to take a stance on every little thing. It takes away from the game, not to mention negatively impacting our family time. Do you think athletes should be so proactive about current social and political issues?

Dear Athletic Support: One of my childrenâs junior high coaches has been making very strong political posts on his social media page. Iâm trying to keep this as vague as possible to keep from getting anyone in trouble, but please, hear me out. Back when I was in school, teachers, coaches, principals, etc⦠all tried very hard to keep from pushing their political viewpoints on kids. I can remember sitting in a civics class, talking about the two different parties, and one of my classmates asked our teacher which side he was on. This teacher skillfully avoided the question, turning the conversation back to the facts about the two parties. That doesnât seem to be the case today. The coach I mentioned earlier isnât the only public school employee Iâve seen making political posts online. And these arenât just run-of-the-mill posts, theyâre flagrant, extreme viewpoints that, in my
