I know I post this in a other thread but this is a good topic. I'm surpise about NCAA basketball, bull riding, and WWE.

Would like to hear more posts on this topic. I read one time music and sports were way far apart because of the artists protest, but that was the late 60's early 70's.

I just added a poll to this question.

Here is why I think most athletes are red compare to being blue. It's the money. The MONEY talk to athletes. I'm not saying all rich people are Conservative but most are. Also the owners and coaches are mostly rich which leads to most of the time becoming Republican. Also lot of athletes and owners are asshole which wouldn't surprise me if they were Republican, since lot of the red people like Bush are just like them.


From what I've read online, most NBA players are Democrat, although some like David Robinson are Republican. I hear that Kyle Orton wants to be a senator someday. Pat Tillman wasn't a Bush fan.
George Steinbrenner was part of the Watergate scandel.


From this chart I'm surprise that the WWE and bull riding learn blue. I would think the would get more red as I expected.
