As soon as politics were introduced to sports, I stopped following.
For me, I stopped even before politics entered the fray.
After being a fan during the late 70s and throughout the 80s, I gave up the NFL when it became apparent that it was the National Felon's League. Gave up MLB after the strike. Stopped watching the NBA after Jordan left because the league became a bunch of spoiled crybabies playing in a dummied down game. Politics in sports became just another nail in the coffin. The Olympics is just another sports entity that has gone to shit.
