The whole 'keep politics out of the game' reminds me of gamers who fall to pieces whenever there's a gay character in a game, or there's spotlight on a non-white character or if there is a female character that doesn't have tits bigger than the northern hemisphere and isn't dressed in a string bikini. They always describe it as 'politics' which often means 'I want my game to be filled with straight white dudes and women who only exist to be ogled at.' They'll claim that politics have no place in their games while playing Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty: Cold War, or pretty much any JRPG in which you have to overthrow a government, unearth corruption in religion or just simply fight god, sometimes all three. That kind of political content is a-okay just as long as there isn't a gay in sight!

People who say keep politics out of football are very that, they don't mind players wearing poppies or supporting causes but as soon as a player takes a knee against racism, these people lose their racist minds.
