ESPN's Sage Steele shuts down All-Star Celebrity Game MVP for talking politics

Arcade Fire lead singer Win Butler took home the All-Star Game Celebrity MVP trophy on Friday night as Team Canada defeated Team USA. It was a poorly played, silly game, which is the point of any athletic event involving celebrities. All good. Then came the postgame interview.

Butler turned serious and mentioned the upcoming presidential election in the United States. Before he could really get going, ESPN's Sage Steele cut him off, saying "We're talking about celebrity stuff, not politics."
