Superbowl replays election (Pats = Dems, Iggles = Repub)!!! (It's true!)

[sleipnir]

Sorry to break the hearts of all the Eagles fans here, but your owner, Jeffery Lurie, is a major Repuke contributer. Sadly, it seems he once was a Dem, then he turned to the dark side.... http://www.newsmeat.com/sports_political_donations/Jeffrey_Lurie.php

While on the other hand, the Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, is a proud Dem supporter. http://www.newsmeat.com/sports_political_donations/Robert_Kraft.php

If this proves nothing else, the Patriots are the Democrats team this year. And unlike the election, the Dems are going to role the Pukes in the Superbowl!!!

1. Kraft is a Democrat????

That's news to me. I thought he was a Pube asshole because he makes so much money. Guess I'll have to revise my opinion a bit.

4. Here is Kraft's donation history

Mostly Dem contributions, and some general R funds.

7. guy is definely a dem, good on him

[ThorsHammer]

2. True, but Philly was blue by 500,000 votes and gave PA to K/E

3. do we have to make everything about politics eh

I use sports as an escape from politics. Though I am going for the Pats for anotehr reason.

6. Sorry, I was just pointing out a similarity.

It wasn't to be taken too seriously.

I know how you feel, but this one was too good to pass up. Though, it seems that Kraft is trending towards a Republican.

I usually try to keep the sports posts clean of politics, unless it involves bashing the Yankees, then anything is fair game. :evilgrin:

9. ha I know, I am cool with it

I just use sports as my escape. The Orioles got a dem owner but he still sucks ass to me.

11. This could be their year, Orioles just picked up Steve Reed.

He's a damn good hurler, quite under-rated for being in the league for at least a decade. They might be putting together a team.

Still smarting about that whole incident involving the Washington team, and how the Orioles were worried about losing the monopoly on the market share. Funny how having 5 teams within 250 miles doesn't affect New England/NY/NJ/PA area.

[JohnKleeb]

13. Isnt Reed a reliever though? they need starting pitching

Yeah, Angelos is still being a prick about the Nats, well then make the team competive, you stupid bastard is what I say, he hasnt, and the nats have been more aggressive.

[sleipnir]

14. Seems Baltimore wants to get their pitching up from the farms.

Yeah, they haven't signed any good starters this year, but the season is only starting to warm up, so we'll see.

Reed could become their top reliever if he stays healthy.

[JohnKleeb]

15. hope hes good but really they need startign pitchin

[tcfrogs]

16. Reed is one of my all-time favorites

Love the side-winder! Never thought I'd see a Steve Reed reference at DU!

5. However.........

........Donovan McNabb winning a SB would shut the drug addict Limbaugh up and Tom Brady still has no good explanation for being at that State of the Union speech (I assume he ain't that bright and didn't realize the political implications of it).

[St. Jarvitude]

8. I've heard Belichick is a Dem too

Wouldn't surprise me, because he's so fucking

[JohnKleeb]
