such a great point. IMO in part because sports subsumes the communal, participatory energy people could otherwise be putting into politics.

That's definitely an element. They also conceptualize sports as a self-contained domain into which other social forces ought not intrude.

Who cares about athletes opinions? They're athletes not politicians. Doesn't affect you if they have a difference of opinion.

Athletes should be free to express political views. Just keep politics out of sports. Sports are a refuge from the ugliness of politics.
