Satirical Open Letter to Senator Eric Schmitt on Sports Ignorance
Original: An Open Letter to Senator Eric Schmitt About It Being Totally Okay Not to Know Anything About Sports
A satirical open letter published on McSweeney's Internet Tendency addresses Senator Eric Schmitt, humorously reassuring the Missouri Republican that it is entirely acceptable to know nothing about sports. The piece uses comedy to poke fun at politicians who feign familiarity with athletics or stumble over sports talk in public, a familiar trope in American political satire.
Why now: The comic letter is drawing attention for its timely mockery of politicians' sports-related blunders.
