I love a good political debate as much as the next guy, but sometimes, we all just need to get away from it. If I'm looking for politics, I have a lot of other places I could go that are better suited to it. I come here looking for other things.
I like a good off-topic discussion now and then, especially during the slow off-season. If I pop into a thread on here about deer hunting or golf, it's usually a pretty informed discussion between people who either have some experience with the subject or genuinely want to learn more about it. It's very rare that those threads get hijacked by somebody who is completely clueless about the subject - and they virtually never devolve into personal attacks. Not so with the political discussions, at least not here.
But not everything is a good fit for a sports board. Some people, I among them, enjoy a respite from polemics. If I want to engage in political debate, there are plenty of other places I can do it. However, I was educated as to the futility of that exercise a long time ago.
I would agree on distancing the political debate, and have often said the idea of a separate forum could do the trick.
That being said, I think the title IX thread involved all college sports, and was pertinent.

The Title IX issue stands to have a massive impact on college sports. The fact that we happen to be really good at girl's basketball would, I think, make the discussion all the more relevant for our fans.
This is not a political issue.
It's a women's sports issue which should be a concern for all women who value the rights they worked so hard to establish, as well as the men who support women and their rights.

Are Title IX Protections for Women's Sports About To Disappear?
The Biden administration has promised to announce new changes to Title IX—changes that will undo decades of groundbreaking achievements for women.

Even then, from time to time, politics meets Gamecock sports. For example, Dawn's comments on women's sports and the BYU game cancellation awhile back. Those topics should be fair game for a Gamecock sports forum (as long as they stay reasonably civil).
I’ve got a good topic for you. So I decided not to attend either of the baseball games Saturday in favor of watching them from our local bars with a few old friends. Seems like this should have been a fairly simple outing. Option #1 Salty Nut. Online said less busy than usual. Interesting, lets go. Well that changed by the time we got there. A bunch of College kids, go figure but the New Jersey crowd was thick and all they had on TV was professional sports. Not to mention we never got service (drinks). WTF was that about? We left after 10 minutes or so and like idiots decided Home Team would be better. Not my first time making this mistake, I do love their food. So here we are immersed by foreigners, seriously none of them looked like they were from around here, in a jam packed establishment and wouldn’t you know it….. Only professional sports on. So at this point I’m verbally expressing my confusion of in what world do two 5 point establishments not have the game on TV? How could this be? Who are these people that are ok with this? Ahh yes, back to the Jersey license plates. Luckily I pulled my head out my arse and realized that what should have been my #1 pick was just up Devine street. I won’t mention the name in fear of Jerseys seeing this but it had the game on and the beer was great. Day was saved!
Anyways, long story short, I’m ready for the semester to end and these foreign kids go home.
