DAVID MARCUS: Hey politicians, stop co-opting our sports teams. It's un-American

David Marcus criticizes politicians like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and GOP candidate Spencer Pratt for using sports team branding in campaigns, arguing it undermines sports' unifying role in America. He contrasts this with European soccer teams that often represent political or religious divisions, such as Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain, and Celtic and Rangers in Scotland.
