What snarky comeback are you trying to formulate now?
I wasn't talking to you.
Maybe when you are replying to yourself, you could put a little asterisk in the post so everyone knows.
Quite the narcissist, aren't you? I was responding to the post immediately before mine.
See, the posts appear in the sequential order they were posted.

Kinda what I was thinking but I was looking for the official word from okie. After all, he is the go to guy for determining a sports political leanings.
I guess he still isn't speaking to me because of my peas and carrots comments. Still has hurt feelings.

Maybe the quote function would have spared you the confusion. Just a thought.
Shall we recap the most important points regarding soccer and its strong left wing roots?

Some conservatives genuinely like it. Most do not, and for good reason. Soccer tends to be a liberal activity.
It is not ridiculous to think it could change if the sample they had was not sufficient.
But, let's go back... what did the other 76% of the soccer fans state their political viewpoints were? It seems to me that significantly more than 24% of the soccer fan population has to have political views. If not, then I would argue that soccer is not a socialist sport, it is the sport of the apathetic and ill informed.

Pal, it cannot be any clearer. Sample after sample indicates that the majority of soccer fans like yourself are liberal.
The replies on this thread alone back that up.

Te other 76% didn't watch the world cup. Do you know how to read a chart? The chart details the percentage who watched the world cup.

Fair point, I did misread it. That being said, we are arging over 11% vs 6% of the political spectrum? Seriously? So what if it is 1 in 10 vs 1 in 20. Honestly, both are seriously small percentages. That just goes to show that this is an absolutely worthless argument.

So you understand that soccer is a liberal man's sport.
