It’s Super Bowl Sunday, the biggest day in American sports. It’s time for settling into that comfy chair, gulping down wings and nachos, washing down beer, and cheering on your team.

But can we escape from politics, just this one day? Not a chance. Everything has to be political these day. Every. Thing.

That’s ridiculous. Let’s examine some of the insanity:

• Tom Brady, the New England Patriots, and Trump. The team is under attack because quarterback Tom Brady and President Trump have been golf buddies. Team owner Robert Kraft and coach Bob Belichick are also friends of the President. Sportswriters have demanded that Brady “disavow” the President, and one college professor said that Brady’s refusal to discuss politics shows “white privilege,” which seems to be the default accusation of the college crowd. As if Brady, Kraft, and Belichick give a hoot right now about the rantings of some leftwing academic.

• Lady Gaga’s Halftime Show. Uh-oh, will she get political? Or will she just entertain? She’s assured us that she “chose songs that both the football fans and the people who are just tuning into the halftime show will enjoy,” but then again added that she believes in “inclusion . . . the spirit of equality” and that her performance “will uphold those philosophies.” So what does that mean? Who knows? These are the words of someone who once wore a meat dress to an awards show. Let that sink in.

I have a better idea. Let’s turn back time (no, not bring in Cher!) and revisit Bruno Mars’s show from Super Bowl 2014 when he gave a salute to the troops.

But the outrage isn’t just limited to the liberal side of the Great Political Divide. I’m sorry, friends, but there’s been some conservative knee-jerk reactions to a particular commercial:
