How do certain sports fans vote?

Darius, I think you're right in regards to STEREOTYPES, but not reality. The fact is that the major sports are so popular, with such divers fan bases there really is no correlation. In fact hockey is the "farm-boy" sport in Canada, so it might have more conservatives. However politically these are my views:

Football: conservative, blue-collar suburbs.

Basketball: Liberal, black, urban

Baseball: Moderate, traditionalist, rural

Hockey: northern, progressive, college kids

NASCAR: southern, conservative, religious

golf: wealthy, white-colar, conservative

Indeed it was. I was simply going along with the initial post.

Did you guys see the Baseball All-star game? It seemed like a large part of the crowd was booing.

That's not because of who he is. It's because of the city which he is "reppin"

For those who aren't as baseball savy as myself (GO SAWX!), Chicago and St. Louis are big rivals. Now I know it's Cubs vs. Cardinals, and not White Sox (Obama's team) vs. Cardinals but the point is that the two cities are rivals.

Also consider this: the all-star game is not the average ball game. The tickets are VERY expensive, and that means that you have a lot of rich white folks who do not very much enjoy President Obama's economic policies. Also, the crowd was probably 60-70% cheering, only that those who were booing likely were a lot louder. Also it's in Missouri, so there's that.
