Agreed, I don’t care who anyone votes for as long as it’s Trump. Not an unreasonable way to think

I expected that to be much higher

It’s 67.5% democrat and 30.2% independent. I’m going to go out on a (rather substantial) limb and say that a lot of them are either Bernie Sanders types, support whatever extreme candidates that have various hair colors and are confused about their gender, or are democrats that are at least smart enough to claim independence so they can appease their income sources.

Either way - 97.7% aren’t republican.

When I listened to WWL radio on my way to and from NOLA post Katrina a former attorney for the Saints was on air one Sunday. He said that the minute rookies got their first paycheck and saw the deductions for the money they earned, most became instant Republicans.

That's no longer a fence on which you can sit. Dems have forced everyone to pick a side.

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


Honestly thought it would be a lot higher

Why does this even matter?


I think it's an interesting phenomenon that the WNBA votes DEM at 67% while the DEM party actively seeks to infiltrate their sport with men.

interesting.

I’m surprised by the amount of Independents (instead of Republicans) in the NHL.

And I’m surprised the % of Democrats in the WNBA and NBA isn’t significantly higher.

Dear Lord, I watch professional sports, in part, to get away from politics and non sense.

Next up, old porn stars…Ron Jeremy a Demopenis and Kay Parker a Repubican?

Stop it.

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

Wait, so 91.6% of the NHL is either Republican or Independent?

Only 30% of players in the league are Americans, that might be a factor.
