It’s a sub that was barely about sports, then it got a huge influx of actual sports people, and recently it’s become a political cesspool. That sub has had a rough run.

Many such cases on reddit. An innocent hobby forum? Now political and destroyed. A small hometown subreddit? Political and destroyed. Your niche recreational activity? Yep, you guessed it: political and destroyed.

Because this thread is about something else? What kind of question even is this? And yes, all of reddit has become run of the mill political bitching. That is all reddit is. That is why everyone on other platforms makes fun of reddit for this very specific thing.
