Hey I’ve stood on the field singing the national anthem with my helmet in


one hand and the other one over my heart, with not 1/10 of a percent of my mind on what my body was doing. On autopilot. Because 99.999% of my mind was on what I was going to do on the first play from scrimmage.

And even the other .001 was immediately focused on that, once the anthem was over.

And I was not by any stretch of the imagination an elite athlete.

The other stuff going on is not distracting. It’s like a movie with the sound turned off that you’re not watching anyway.

You didn’t say anything about politics? Your post was in support of Trump’s statement about the effect of “wokeness” on the USWNT’s performance. That’s a political philosophy issue. that’s the only logical antecedent of the word “It” in your first sentence.
