Giants legend Buster Posey’s tired shtick about politics dates back years.
In 2017, as Donald Trump’s racist comments and policies roiled the sports world, Posey said that the real problem was partisanship: “When you disagree to the point it becomes irrational on both sides, that’s when you get stuck.”
In 2018, as he played coy about possibly running for office someday, Posey said the real problem was those rascals in the media, basically the same bit about drummed-up extremism on both sides. “I think whether you’re watching CNN or Fox News or whatever it may be, the opinions and stuff you’re seeing on either one of those sides are way more to the right or left than the overall population feels,” he told The Athletic.
