Bad news for the #StickToSports crowd: it’s officially impossible to keep politics and sports separated. (Not that it was easy before.)

FBI Director James Comey told the House Intelligence Committee on Monday that his agency will move forward with an investigation into whether Russia interfered with the 2016 Presidential election. Specifically, the FBI is looking at whether President Donald Trump colluded with members of the Russian government to defeat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
