Sports and Political Affiliation are different per sport

Interesting considering UFC/WWE are typically depicted by the media as being right wing, but the audiences tend to be mostly left wing. Monster trucks and Soccer/football are also something a little surprising to be more left-wing. Basketball does not surprise me as being the most left-wing major team sport considering it's a center for activism.

Not sure where they're getting that.. Probably simply because it's ultra masculine and doesn't constantly preach far left rhetoric and causes, so that automatically = right wing these days, with how simple minded many are on politics and culture/society I wouldn't be surprised.

Other random thoughts:

I kind of wish people would stop seeing everything in terms of politics, happening more and more these days it seems. Especially when it comes to sports as that's supposed to be the thing here in the US to unify us and take our minds off the bs in our society and political system for awhile.. But since we're going down that road -

I'm a little surprised the NFL is actually at center right, and the the NBA is as far left as it is.

Also odd that there seems to be a decent gap between NFL and college football.

WNBA are a bunch of commies apparently.. No wonder they're essentially a failed business! lolol

Mostly how the media depicts them. Like South Park:
