The question that I have is how to translate the ardor for and knowledge of professional sports into ardor for and knowledge of things political.

You can’t. Politics has consequences and sports don’t. Politics is

The “three strikes you’re out” rule has been imported into criminal
justice, with really unfortunate results.
