Daniel, you have written an amazing number of brilliant essays, but this is one of your most brilliant ever! YES YES YES YES YES. Sports used to be the last refuge of meritocracy (albeit in a limited way, lol) and the last remaining refuge from the politicization of EVERYTHING. And of course... that refuge could not be allowed to remain a refuge. I could not agree with you more, that this is exactly what's happening. Thank you for writing this!! I will share it with my email list.
