It is almost impossible at times to separate sports from politics, as President Donald Trump's recent war of words against the NFL proved. However, it appears some fans are really getting fed up with what they perceive as ESPN spurring on that kind of coverage.
At College GameDay on Saturday, one fan held a sign with a popular meme that shows "ESPN" checking out the "social issues" girl over the "sports" one.

ESPN has been under fire for the past few years over what fans believe is too much coverage of politics over the network's traditional sports coverage. This has come to a head under President Trump, as several of ESPN's personalities have been very outspoken against the new President.
I would imagine you can expect more signs at GameDay events in the future, as fans haven't been afraid to show what side of the argument they have been on in recent weeks.
