Since this is BOTH politics and sports related, I figure this could be posted on the OT for a broad range of feedback. If not, Chicken, I grant you the necessary permission to move to one of the other boards.

A study released this week offers insight into the political affiliation of professional athletes, showing a wide spectrum of opinions on current events across different sports.
The VoteHub study found 53 percent of Major League Baseball players registered in the states studied are Republicans, the highest proportion of any league, while 43 percent of players in the National Hockey League said the same.
The NHL had the highest share of independents, at 48.6 percent of the league, followed by the National Football League, where 44 percent have registered with no party. Just more than 34 percent of NFL players were registered Democrats, and just more than 20 percent were registered Republicans.
The most registered Democrats of any major pro sports league came in the Women’s National Basketball Association, where 67 percent of athletes supported the party. The second bluest league was the NBA, where almost 43 percent of players identify as Democrats and 10 percent as Republicans.

VoteHub relied on publicly available voter registration data from 24 states and the District of Columbia.

The two party radical system will kill this country.
Hard core Republicans are idiots and hardcore Democrats are idiots.

It doesn't. It just gives people who let politics consume their lives something else to bitch about.

Step 1: make it political
Step 2: choose a side

I could have told you this without the need for a study.
MLB = Republican
NHL = Libertarian
NFL = Moderate democrats
NBA = Democrats
WNBA = far left blue haired lesbian progressives

Just curious more than anything,
I would like to see the racial makeup of the 44% Ind , 34% Dems and the 20% Rep.
It appears to be exactly in line with what I would expect. Personally, I don’t give a shite how you vote as long as its in alignment with the greatest POTUS of my lifetime, TRUMP.
