I'm not just talking about American football, but all football (except for polish). Every time someone speaks, they're just so liberal.
>USMNT wears gay pride shirts >BVB holds refugees welcome sign >Luis Suarez calls Patrice Evra a common South American slur, gets convicted of racism >Olympaics constantly shilling leftism >big players doing everything they can to help refugees >players/managers being proud to call themselves socialist
I honestly feel like the only conservative players are Jakub Błaszczykowski and Ivan Rakitic
I love football, but why does it have to be so liberal?
Some honorable mentions >teams working with refugees >Clint Dempsey calling out Donald trump >the whole French national team campaigning against Jean-Marie Le Pen >Zidane calling out Marine Le Pen 14 years later >Maradona befriending Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro
Cameron Smith
Its your own cognitive bias. There are racist chants everywhere, even people throwing bananas at players. Nazi flags and Nazi fans everywhere across spain (even supported by legends like Figo, Raul and Casillas) There are all kidns of people in football from everywhere in the political spectrum.

Luis Baker
I hadn't no ideas about those 3. I know Figo was a cunt, but that's about it.
Jason Walker
Again, its your own cognitive bias. You are just looking at the lefties. And if youre watching US media then theyre obviously pushing it.
Caleb Ross
Enjoying team sports is about as normie as you can get

Sockerball in the rest of the world is mixed between liberal and conservative Sockerball in America is wildly liberal. I have never met a Conservative soccer fan. They only care when they can root for the US in the World Cup and even then they don't care that much. Conservative sports in America are Hockey, baseball and football (NFL fans typically lean more conservative than the rest of the country). NASCAR is not a sport, neither is golf, even though I love golf, it's just a game.
Jayden Robinson
True, but I've been doing research the past few minutes about those guys being suppoosed nazis. All I could find was an ex-footballer saying they probably didn't mean it. And it was only one article
Adam Bailey
Well, I live in a huge baseball city and an overwhelming majority of baseball fans are liberal
Aaron Williams
t. Anti social autist
Xavier Adams
Football is literal psyops
Jaxon Nelson
Geoff Cameron. He's a New Englander. And his hatred of Hillary is almost white hot.
Aaron Watson
I thought I was the only one. I'm slowly gaini my respect for American soccer again

Spending your Sundays getting fat on the couch and watching watching white cheerleaders cheer on giant black criminals is blue pilled as fuck
Josiah Barnes
ESPN is news media, they now have as many useless talking heads as any other media outlet, its disgusting.
William Morgan
Cameron is one of a few. US soccer is sadly left wing.
Modern soccer. For my fellow burgers, go read about the Bosman Ruling. That event reshaped the entire landscape.
Alexander Davis
US soccer is overwhelmingly left wing, but you'd be surprised In suburban Brooklyn/queens, there's plenty of conservative soccer fans
Connor Kelly
I think soccer and rugby and hockey are more rightwing than football and basketball.
Tyler Rogers
What does the Bosman ruling have to do with all that?
Ryder Anderson
United States Mutant Ninja Turtles
What kind of faggy sport is that?
Eli Stewart
The Bosman ruling created the modern soccer meatmarket. Buying and selling players at exorbitant sums. It also changed how many non native players each team could have. Not just non EU. Non native in general.

Google Ultra Sur and Frente Atletico and Nazis.
Of course players cant be all out in the open about this stuff, and they were not nazis but they obviously werent against it either.
Noah Campbell
Because televised sports are popular as fuck since less and less people are physically attending games and this gives (((them))) another medium to take advantage of to spread their way of thinking to the masses.
John Williams
Football only got big thanks to the globalization of entertainment, they're managing crazy wall street money at this point.
How stupid would they have to be to drop all that for socially repudiated principles we hold
Robert Sanchez
>There are racist chants everywhere True. There is a club here that for some reason are tied to judaism. So occasionally its followers and players will be pelted with soap (a reference to the holocaust myth).
Christian Reyes
>soccer >liberal
Aren't they all gay anyway?
Seriously, though, this is ESPN we're talking about here. I didn't even have to consciously stop watching them, I did it without even realizing it because the content has been so bad the past two or three years with their token women anchors they've been plugging hard since then.
The final straw is when they got rid of John Miller as their baseball commentators and plugged it in with Aaron Boone and some chick who played softball. FUCKING SOFTBALL.
Kayden White
This kit is from a Spanish football team who were supporting gay rights.
>In Spain >Where gay marriage is already allowed >literally making a kit for the sole purpose of virtue signalling
Jaxson Gray
I always knew vallecano were gay but not that gay
Gavin Edwards
Football has been the biggest sport in the world for decades before the TV was even invented. The radio hadn't even become mainstream for fucks sake
But in the case of places like America and Australia, yes it's extremely liberal
Tyler Ward
Because despite being about half of the country by numbers it's not really acceptable to be openly right of center. The demoralization is very strong.
