As this is the nth time this complaint has come up in the past few years, check out this thread from last year for more info on opting out the politics forums and related issues:

Info: - Opting out of the politics board...
What's up, Fanatics -- Recently, Chris and I have been getting a lot of (mostly negative) feedback from users about the politics forum and it having too big of a presence on the site. I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone they have the option to opt-out of seeing the politics...

This would probably work but I don't think I've ever put anybody on ignore. That being said, my wife will attest to my selective hearing acumen. I guess it works in online forums too.
Well there's one side that tends to think that their very political opinions aren't political (this side also tends to not go in the cave because they can't hang with facts), and the other side that gets screeched at for being "political" the second they disagree with that first side.
Well.. because there’s a handful of people on here that are constantly creating threads about how good they are and how horrible everyone else is. Then it gets bumped with perpetual agreeing among the group, until someone deviates in the slightest. In that event the thread will remain at the top of the board for days.
And there you have it.
And there you have it.
Don't know for sure, but I do believe most on here are college grads; and thus are often intellectually curious, and part of that is a collegial desire to share opinions, facts as they see them, and discussions that may further their knowledge of issues. Kind of like a peer review process! First however;, I also believe, like most on here, they go to this site; above all other information sources, for the latest on our Universities Athletic prowess, as this site will generally have the news of it quicker than other sources, and certainly have inside info access that other sources do not have! But as others have indicated, it is up to you to avail yourself to the info you desire.
It all started with stupid people thinking that their opinions matter or are just as valid as facts.
Lol, many people avoid the cave because
A. It’s all an echo chamber for one side.
B. You can spend hours debating and posting, but in the end everyone loses, especially on time wasted. Nobody is going to change the other sides opinion.
I've had many political opinions change over time based on learning new facts. Speak for yourself.
Also, it's only an "echo chamber" because certain people go silent when confronted with facts. A large chunk of the current cave posters you consider an "echo chamber" are former republicans.
Are you talking about the cave or CF in general? Because that’s definitely true across the website
Myself, the not dumb Brian off the top of my head, there are a few others as well.
See what I mean these people can’t help themselves:
Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.
We want names! Who are these numerous people your speak of that have become enlightened by the political wisdom found on a college sports web site?
See what I mean how people like you expect to post something and then any responses to it are the actual problem?
You don't actually not want to hear politics. You just don't want your safe space interfered with.
