Election woes

So far the election has been exactly what I had expected… brutal and depressing at times. As I watched my 49ers celebrate their win against the Cowboys last night on SNF, one of our star players decided to crash a post-game interview with a MAGA hat.

I’m 100% for players speaking up in what they believe in. I’m not in the “shut up and dribble” camp. Professional athletes have a big platform and they should use that platform for what they believe. I’m also not a Trump supporter and have already voted for Kamala.

However, seeing the comments from fellow Niner fans and other sports fans in general just showed how brutal elections are nowadays. We are at a point where supporting a certain candidate has the effect of a large portion of the country hating on that person. Despite me not supporting Bosa’s politic views, I believe that vilifying a person is wrong and counterproductive for us moving forward as a country.

It still hurts me to see how divided the country has become. Elections have become downright nasty and divisive for this country. Whatever happens next Tuesday, I hope that we can start to get back to decency and respect again.
