21. Especially right wing political commentary

Which there seems to be more of. Most of the primetime NFL announcers seem to be Republicans. I remember Colinsworth though with a different network at NBC said that Kentucky residents are proud people that don't want "handouts" after mentioning how Kentucky was impacted by a natural disaster. I think there was ad to donate to Red Cross for disaster relief.

Off topic but it seems like right wing commentary is okay in sports while Kaepernick, Hill, and most other sports figures on the left are discouraged from discussing sports or politics.
