Sports custody in America's culture war draws online mockery

Original: “the fact that liberals managed to get custody of # sports in the national divorce is an all-timer of a plot twist.” htt

Commentators are debating which side of America's political divide 'owns' sports culture, after a snarky post noted that liberals now hold 'custody' of sports in the so-called national divorce. The quip ties to a dispute involving a Missouri senator who accused prosecutor Jack Smith of perjury over confusion involving the Iowa Hawkeyes, a college sports team many online found laughable to misread.

Why now: A senator's apparent confusion over the Iowa Hawkeyes gave critics fresh ammunition in arguments about political tribalism and sports culture.
