Why do you feel compelled to click and comment?
The topic obviously upsets you. The topic is obviously driving discussion. The issue seems to be a you issue instead of a board issue.
I felt compelled to click because by the title I thought maybe the Mayor of Athens did something sports related.
I commented because I was annoyed it ended up being a political thread on a sports board.
THere is a politics board on this site. Is it really that hard to post there people? What benefit do you get by posting here other than annoying those of us who don't want to have to search through political posts to find sports related topics on the sports board?

The sec-rant is going to be quickly ruined by politics if somebody doesn’t start moderating it

Thus driving more clicks to the topic. And more clicks and comments will keep it at the top of page one.
Do you see the Karen fallacy? You don’t like it so you draw attention to it because you inherently believe people think like you and should rally to your voice. Instead you look weak and whiny.
If you don’t want a topic discussed you ignore it and promote other topics. That will push this topic further down the page. But I digress.
As to why it’s being discussed here instead of the poli board (and this is just a theory) is that the poli board and the off topic board delineate the 2 camps of political thought on here. The polo board is a more right while off topic is far left in its stances. This board offers a moderate stance on politics for very short lived topics. A way to vent without venom as it were. This thread would be a couple pages at best and a half day at best if not for the “how dare you bring reasonable people together to discuss a topic for a few hours before it goes away” crowd.
The topic was dead before the two Karen’s started whining about it instead of letting it fall away.
