Bumping this thread for some thoughts on how sports fan vote.

NFL: Republican. Mostly since white macho men are the target audience and the sport doesn't attract many liberal types to the sport.

NBA: Democratic since minority's are the target audience for the sport. Though like all sports, this one has many conservative leaning people as it's fan base.


NHL: Republican/Conservative. All the NHL fans I know of are big Stephen Harper supporters that hate the NDP and few Republicans that have negative opinions of Barack Obama. Also, most of this group idealize Don Cherry, the xenophobia European hating support the troops commentator/former head coach.

MLB: Republican since old white males are the biggest consumers and the sports nationalist ways of promoting the game.

Any New Yorker and New Englenders that have any idea on how New York and Boston sport teams vote in their area. I tend to see teams that have an older more white fanbase such as the Giants to have Republican leaning since they are the stereotype old white male that usually helps them win elections.

Red Wings or Tigers?

traininthedistance, do you think that most sports fans conservative because they tend to be white males or is it because of the jock culture in sports?

American Football is the sport which best reflects the competitive three-branches US government

ergo, our current situation

Offense (House)
Defense (President)
Specials (Senate)

I'd call it a swing-sport
