The most Republican major league baseball at 54%. Of course, Major League Baseball would have the most Republicans since they're so good at throwing people out. The NHL, just 6% liberal. No surprise. Liberals hate ice.
Starting point is 00:06:56 The most left wing was the WNBA at 68%. Which makes sense. I mean, they're mostly women. Mostly. And only 10% of the players in the NBA are Republican. Coincidentally, they're the same 10%. who can't jump. But it seems conservatives in those leagues are harder to find than Dana Perino and a bowl of rice.
Starting point is 00:07:34 The NFL, 34% are liberal with 20% leaning right. Get this, defensive players are overwhelmingly Democrat.

Starting point is 00:09:21 Hey. Sorry. Now, the share of independence in this study across all leaves was 41% meaning they're probably conservative, because like Brian Kilmead's family, they'd rather not admit it. But it seems sports with a lot of minorities tend to be Democrats, which mirror society. But I'd be more interested in seeing what retired athletes think when they are no longer getting huge salaries and taxes matter more and the glare of the media spotlight is no longer. on them. But on the field where reality matters, there is no leftism
Starting point is 00:09:56 and no DEI either. There's no equity, no inclusion, and most of all, no diversity. Because if that was the case, I'd be starting forward for the Lakers. And LeBron James would be at Fox, making fun of Kilmead and peeing next to Britt Hume.
