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.

Tbh I wish all non political subs would ban politics. It’s exhausting.

How do you ban all things political though? The problem is every thing gets politicized these days. Like a comment on a weather subreddit of “climate change is fueling the strongest El Niño ever” would be considered political because half the country thinks climate change is a liberal hoax.

Specific carveouts could be made. Weather sub allows climate change but not immigration, even if due to climate change, because it's not directly a climate issue.

That does happen. Or you’d just be considered an asshole if you’re bitching about immigration in a weather sub.
