I used to be a Patriots fan because they began in Boston, and my dad loved their original quarterback, Babe Parilli, when they were in the old American Football League. Dad and I watched the games together. Then the team soared to NFL dominance behind a coach and a star quarterback who were ethics villains, I realized that all organized football was killing its players for profit, and ultimately concluded that it was ethically unforgivable to support the game in any way.
But guilt by association is a bonkers reason to root against a sports team, and guilt by association with a President of the United States is especially unhinged.
Now, I have lost respect for political candidates when they have faked their support for particular teams to attract votes. For example, Hillary Clinton claimed to be a lifetime and loyal Cubs fan when she was running for President though she wrote in her memoirs that her she and her family were die-hard Chicago White Sox fans, and when she was a New York Senator claimed to be a die-hard Yankee fan.
But that was the least of Hillary’s perfidy…
Ethics Alarms 
I remember hearing a speech by an actor whose work I enjoy claiming he got depressed when he passed a Chick-fil-A because it “was rumored” to be Trump’s favorite restaurant.
When did people lose the ability to compartmentalize their lives? When did politics come to obliterate all compartments? When were fast food and presidential politics conjoined? Someone must be pushing this. When did directives enter every aspect of people’s lives? Why do people want to be led in every aspect of their lives? This isn’t going to end well.
I can’t root for the Seahawks because the offensive line trainer doesn’t cut his lawn and when he does, it is not a uniform 4 inch accross the entire landscape. He routinely leaves uncut patches and crooked mow lines. Jerk.

They had to think of some excuse…couldn’t possibly bring themselves to root for PATRIOTS!
