What is politics not already a part of? Art is inherently political. Sports certainly are political. Games? Definitely political. News? Writing? Software? Food? Dance?

I cannot think of a thing that is free from politics.

You're using a very broad definition of "politics", which most people aren't familiar with and doesn't strike me as tremendously useful. When people say "politics" in this context, they're generally referring to what we might call "party politics" or "electoral politics", arguments that soandso ought to be elected or suchandsuch group ought to have more power.
