Sports is an institution that builds bridges between people. That, imo, is it's purpose.
What we see here is an attack on the very idea of building bridges, by using the idea one side's ideas are "love" and the other is "hate".

Those who claim this is an affront to our country are no less culpable for the sins of racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, et al; and if their claim that this is anti patriotic, they are wrong, for the Champions of the World have been invited and accepted an invitation to go to Congress.
