To find data to prove me wrong, somewhere.

Actually, it wasn't necessary. My Cousin Robert the Red is a huge NFL fan, my anti-Castro cousin Rudy is a Marlins season ticket holder, and George Will is a Cubs fan.

Then again, Obama roots for the White Sox. Could that possibly have some profound ideological significance? Actually, that is a great graph. I must confess, I find the results highly counter-intuitive, but the methodology and conclusions look impeccable nonetheless.

However, it can still be spun to mean about anything you want.

Golf and college football are elitist pastimes, and NASCAR is definitely redneck Republican. Basketball politics are highly skewed by its popularity among African Americans. The wrestling outlier is a puzzlement, until you realize how popular wrestling is among Mexican Americans. And I must confess, I am fascinated by it myself. I used to go and audience-participate in the taping of "Championship Wrestling from Florida" (With Gordon Solie) when I was a kid.

Notice the women's sports and the split between sports car and drag racing. Soccer is no surprise, very European socialist, eh?

The real question should be, why should sports preference have any ideological correlations at all?
