You get my drift.......your stance is very, hypocritical.......at least in this case.........

Not sure what you're saying is hypocritical. I'm just saying that, as I originally posted, I really thing this whole thing should have been about sports, and sports only, and I don't like the fact that Thomas made it about politics, BUT (and I'm not even sure if he really did this or not), knowing Obama, he himself may have used the event to make political hay, and if he did, then I'll give Thomas a pass, because the event had already been politicized.

Yes, you're right, the Oscars, Tonies, those things shouldn't be about politics, either. But if entertainers or sports figures are asked about their political views, which they ARE all the time, I don't have a problem with them answering. It shouldn't happen in the setting of one of those awards ceremonies, but if they're just being interviewed, that's fine.
