    I live in Cleveland. I know all about cheering for shitty teams. Republicans are more like a cult.

    See, I refuse to cheer for the browns until 2027. I refuse to cheer for a rapist. I treat empathy of humans over who got the points by throwing a ball.

    With these people cruelty is the point. If I see a stray 99mph pitch hit another opposing player in the head, my immediate thought is “OH MY GOD!!! IS HE OK???”

    Whereas, the way republicans treat politics, the message is clear. “Oh my god, I hope they die!”

    Which is what helps explain a lot of their policy. They want to ban abortion, because they hope women die. They don’t want gun reform laws, because they hope people die. They don’t want medical care for anyone but them, because they hope others die.

    Sports is supposed to be the thing I watch to distract myself from all this bullshit. Sooooo…GO GUARDS!!! BEAT THE YANKEES!!! (in a game of baseball. Not with violence.)
