The #sticktosports initiative has been obliterated, this week especially.
With the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 51 and plenty of ties between them and President Donald Trump, so that was never going to happen really. But even this week has borne some stories we never could have predicting linking the Patriots and, say, foreign policy.
Many are concerned about the possibility of Trump easing sanctions with Russia, but Patriots owner Robert Kraft might be one who is rooting for improved relations with Russian president Vladimir Putin. Back in 2005, Kraft met Putin and allowed him to try on his Super Bowl ring.
