What do politics and football have in common?

Not Condoleeza Rice. Maybe soon, but not now.

Oddly enough, the most popular topic on certain sports Internet forums may be politics. This is certainly true in a certain board in this forum, specifically, the Arena Football board.

Arena Football? It's not NFL in a dome, it's its own kind of game. Too bad no one cares. The only posts on this ESPN forum that deal with Arena Football are questions. "Where's the Arena Football talk? Does anybody care about Arena Football?" The answers are: there is none, and no. Any topic found here will be political. As I'm looking at it now, topics on the front page include "Any news on the "so called" wire tapping investigation?" and "My Holocaust Problems." You can very often find politics on the NFL Board as well, although currently activity on politics is lacking.

What does it say about people that some have turned a sports forum into a political forum? They are idiots who think they are cool for posting on a sports board, even when their real motive is political argument? Forums designed for politics just aren't popular, or well known, enough? There are no politics forums? ESPN is just that popular? There is a conspiracy to make me waste my time talking about pointless things that nobody cares about? You tell me.
