No one's saying he can't go to the game. He just can't take free expensive tickets as political favors or have enhanced security on the government's dime and not be called the fuck out about it. He can buy his own tickets and hire his own bodyguards if he wants to, he's a big boy.

Now that's a take, Holy hell.

You're right. He should just keep accepting bribes so that he doesn't have to forgo his hobbies.
