The author reflects on the transformation of sports into a political arena, particularly focusing on the Knicks’ return to the NBA Finals after 27 years. He laments the loss of a once neutral space for fans, where politics were set aside, due to deliberate actions by athletes and media to infuse activism into sports culture.
