Pro athletes who voted for Obama?

[frogsrangers]

Want to make a list of players who voted for Obama like my list of coaches who voted for Obama. Since there are more players than coaches I don't feel like scouring for sources of these votes so lets just say who did vote for Obama. I want to do this to see if there is value in fading a team filled with Obama voters.

In 2008 the day of the presidential election, the Fort Worth Star Telegram did a poll of all 4 major sports teams in Dallas-Fort Worth and who they voted for. Not every individual's vote was made public, but this is what I remember:

Rangers: 19 for McCain, 6 for Obama
Mavericks: 11 for Obama, 0 for McCain
Cowboys: 23 for McCain, 27 for Obama
Stars: 16 for McCain, 6 for Obama

Individuals:

Michael Young - Texas Rangers
Marlon Byrd - Boston Red Sox
The entire 2008-2009 Dallas Mavericks roster

Also, from other sources:
LeBron James - Miami Heat
Curtis Granderson - New York Yankees
Adrian Gonzalez - Boston Red Sox
Derrick Rose - Chicago Bulls

If you can help me name anyone else that would be great.

Considering baskets' thread about NBA Obama voting coaches has proven to have major value, I think Obama voting players could be the same.

People who are looking for leads on how to wager may want to see correlation between Obama voters and outcomes.

Saloon this.

Ban op.

Names? I could just assume black = Obama voter and white = Non Obama voter but there are whites such as Michael Young who voted Obama and blacks such as Mike Tomlin who are Republicans. Looking for something a bit more concrete.

Considering the 2008 Stars had 5 or 6 Americans on the team, it's interesting you had essentially 80% as having said they voted.

Only thing I got from this thread is that OP is a fukkin moron. Saloon this garbage thread.

Well I guess thats all I can go on until I can get a more cohesive list

Read in an article that NFL is 60% Republican 40% democrat, MLB is heavy Republican and NBA is heavy democrat

Cowboys, Yankees and Arizona Cardinals organizations known GOP backers
Bulls, Bears and Heat organizations known Democrat backers
