17. Although his double dealing with the NHL |
|
and the Hartford Whalers still dooms him to an eternity in the 4th circle of hell I can support the Pats and I'm glad he's pretty solidly Democratic.

I wonder, however, who Brady gives to.

4. What do you think of Sproles? |
|
He is one of my favorite players along with Wes Welker. I paid pretty close attention to Sproles when he was at K-State. The QB that he played with, Ell Roberson, went to my high school (he's 5 years older than me though) so that is why I paid pretty close attention to KSU. While paying attention to KSU, I was also a fan of Texas Tech because my sister went there and was a member of the marching band. I ended up going to TTU. Not too proud of what Crabtree is doing right now with this greedy holdout nonsense, but he sure did provide a nice boost to our program (we got two receivers from the state of Florida this year that turned down offers from the Florida Gators...that's right, they chose us over the national champs!).

Good luck getting the DFL controlled legislature to build you that stadium you think you need.

These team owners have their hands out for public money to build new stadiums, but they aren't too broke to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to Repuke politicians.

10. This is 20 years of data and thus doesn't necessarily capture a current snapshot of the teams. |

12. Browns, twice as much to Repigs as to Dems. |

Then again, don't know how much of that was the Son of Satan (Art Modell).

14. The Seahawks are 53%-47% Democratic-Republican. That narrow spread seems odd |
|
for such a deep-blue city like Seattle.

30. Unfortunately, the Seahawks have always had some fundagelicals on the team |
|
Going back to the Zorn & Largent days. We all know what happened to Steve. And thank God he moved back to Oklahoma before he became a right wing politician.

19. You Know What's Really Fucking Sad? |
|
The NFL is overwhelmingly African American, and you'd think that the players would be more supportive of an African American for president.
Yet, when any of these assholes gets accused of a crime, they go running and crying for support from the African American community, and they cry racism.
Fuck them.

And besides that, you'd think any minority group would always support a Dem President, whether that Pres is a minority or not.
Sadly, some wealthy minorities (AA's, gays, etc...) will betray the Dems when they get so much money. Thankfully, there are many who don't.

Not my team. I'm just shocked that they gave 93% of their donations to the party that let their city drown.

25. Eagles: 85% to Democratic party. |
|
Coach Reid is a Morman so he maxed out to Romney. A lot of the players last year were outspoken in their support for Obama.

27. Prediction: nearly 100% to the Republicans for the Denver Broncos... |

Actuality: only 2-1 advantage for the Reps. Not as bad as I thought.

by the donations by the Redskins
Washington Redskins Total - $323,000 Democrats - $8,550 3% Republicans - $314,450 97%
The name of the team alone is a disgrace.
