They just don't want sports and politics linked in.

One of them turned off the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game because Clayton Kershaw is a Black Lives Matter activist. They say that BLM is political, not a human rights movement.

But he despises Trump too.

He hates his tax cut, don't like the ICE issue, but he is really, really, really torn.

He may write in Gov. Charlie Baker or former New York Gov. David Paterson as a alternative.
