There are some obvious parallels between religion and sports fanaticism that can (and have) been explored by me and others elsewhere. But politics as sport has a huge entertainment value and significantly different expectations for the players (politicians) and fans (voters). 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

[Thread] I’ve spoken often about how politics has become a religion for far too many people...but I’m equally worried that it is becoming something else: Sport. While many are concerned that sports has become too political, I’m worried that politics has become too sporty. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

As ratings for all sports have declined, ratings and engagement in politics is skyrocketing. This new entertainment factor is very different than the way we have viewed politics (boring) in the past. Political twitter is 🔥, while sports twitter is increasingly meh. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
