It is, at times, nice to live in a bubble where you, trusty fan of the San Francisco Giants, can pretend that your team is devoid of the controversies and immoral personalities of teams from other cities. That you have no Bob McNairs or Addison Russells conflicting your rooting interests.
Of course it doesn’t work like that; it doesn’t ever work like that. This offseason has been a stark reminder of that, as news surfaced that Charles Johnson, the team’s principal owner, made political donations to a super PAC that had run highly racist ads, as well as to Mississippi senator Cindy Hyde-Smith’s campaign after Hyde-Smith had made vile racist comments.
