This is your disconnect. The very nature of the State is political. The current debate over police brutality, profiling and targeting, and special privilege granted by the State is inherently political. State worship, which is exactly what those stickers would be and which is exactly how you've framed your question, is inherently political.

                    I think teams would be wise to stay away from endorsing - tjwheeler UI - 8/27 15:14:55
                         Well, I was saying that I agree with keeping political - STL1DFW STL - 8/27 15:26:01

                                             Yes, the decal was for the Dallas officers - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 8/27 15:30:08
