    I remember reading something about the political divides in US sports fandoms.

    If I recall correctly, the NFL and MLB are both pretty balanced across the political spectrum.

    The NBA has more Democratic fans, which is largely demographic correlation with having more black fans. College football is arguably the quintessential Republican sport. Again, I think that’s largely demographics, though, because college football is more popular in areas without NFL teams (more rural areas).
