Apparently it's only okay when jagoff politicians criticize sports outfits over their politics (i.e. Trump, day in and day out vs. the NFL) ... but the opposite is simply unacceptable!

This is hardly the first time sports leagues have done this sort of thing. For example, the NFL banned holding the Super Bowl in AZ until they made MLK day a holiday and that was like 20 or more years ago.
