Is This Tinderbox Material?

Some of the poorest people from "modest" backgrounds are some of the most republican people you will ever meet.

Yep. Rodeo just doesn't want to admit he spoke of something he doesn't know here.

I worked in an NFL locker room for seven years. Ninety percent of the players really don't give a crap about politics, but lean Republican because they know how hard they worked for their money. There are some far left exceptions...Rodney Peete, some linebacker we got from the Giants early in Fox's tenure...but most of them are looking out for number one.

A key difference between NFL athletes and Hollywood types...most Hollywood types have worked with homosexuals throughout their lives and sympathize with them. NFL players use gay slurs all the time. It's just the culture. So Hollywood types get money and refuse to support politicians who say bad things about gay people. NFL players get money and love hearing those things.

It's not like he is eating babies.

I don't care about his politics either, I just found it interesting that this was actually reported. I would assume many NFL coaches, FO folks, don't want their politics to be public. Just thought it was interesting.

When you give contributions it becomes public domain.

This explains why John Fox is always so conservative with his play calling...

But most people with huge sums of money generally do tend to vote republican even football players. The exception is hollywood entertainers who tend to be overwhelmingly liberal and higher ups in the technology industry.

its because democrats put funding into liberal arts and technology fields whilst guess who doesn't? Likewise for Republicans and sports entertainment.

To answer the title question, apparently it is :sosp:

Is it just me or does Austan Goolsbee sound just like Gruden when he speaks?

[CarolinaKat]

Just another reason for me to dislike John Fox...
