I don't like Trump, I find him stupid. Yet, I admire the fact he brought people out of the apolitical daze and made people reflect on what type of a country we have had for 40+ years....
You do realize that political daze, goes back more than 40 years now, but was largely enacted during the Reagan years, although the "dreams" if I may use the word were thought of during the Nixon years.

IIRC and someone correct me if I am wrong, but Roger Ailes, was either in the Nixon Admin, or in contact with to create what you know know as "Fox News"

A lot of them are, baseball star Trevor Bauer himself admitted it.

NO. You said, and I quote exacty, "I know for the fact that most athletes are closet Trump supporters."

One baseball player who is not a closeted Trump supporter does not in any way make it true that most athletes are closet Trump supporters. Please provide links to information that supports your position that more than 50 percent of all athletes are closeted Trump supporters.

True, but he built his own brand, like how Niners' coach Kyle Shanahan did to break away from his father's shadow.
He inherited hundreds of millions, went bankrupt multiple times, and now is headed to prison after losing the remainder of his father’s fortune. Lol.

He also believes vaccines are poison and that evolution isn’t real.

‘If Schilling ran he would turn the entire northeast Republican’
To be honest, there are very few people who can turn the entire north east Republican if they ran as a Republican. Take Ronald Prescott Reagan (he is an independent), who was invited to speak both at Republican And Democrat national conventions. I think that even happened once in a single election year even.

You would need a sane Republican basically, not some conspiracy maker. The last think anyone wants is an RFK Jr. type in office.

No one can do this - he just comes up with weird fantastical ideas like if Jessica Fletcher became a Republican Maine would go red.

Curt Schilling explains it all:
Nope. That is not information. That is one man's opinion taken from 7 years ago and it references only professional athletes. I know you have difficulty distinguishing between opinion and fact, but try. Current factual source showing that more than 50% of athletes are closet Trumpers is necessary to in any way validate your post.

Trump is seen as more accomplished than his father, despite the business being shut down yesterday. Why? Trump's father never was in the media eye, Donald was. Donald is the show, he is the attention seeker, he built a great brand that now extends to capturing the GOP and capturing young men.

Also, race is central to America.....

Fred trump built the trump empire from nothing.


DJT inherited an established business

If anyone doesn’t know that then they are an idiot

He was one of the best pitchers in the game.
No, he wasn’t. The reason he didn’t make it into the hall of fame was he wasn’t good enough.

Regardless, he’s an anti-vaxx creationist who is now widely despised throughout New England.

He won 2 World Series, he was good. Schilling, Rocker's politics is the majority of baseball....and sports in general.

Yes, he is an anti-vax loon, but he's right, a lot of athletes are MAGA, it's that MAGA is so toxic, they're afraid of their image being hit.

No, it is not. 30% of MLB players are immigrants. I doubt many of them say they don’t want to live in a city because of all the immigrants.

I think athletes in general try to stay out of politics, especially after they saw Kaepernick get canceled for coming out as liberal.

1. A lot of immigrants come from conservative upbringings and cultures, a lot of Latinos are socially conservative, like Mariano Rivera, on same-sex marriage, family and abortion. They may be economically moderate/liberal, but they lean conservative on those issues.

The white MLB athletes, certainly are conservative-leaning, it always has been. Had Trump not done what he did on Jan. 6, he would have gotten plenty celebrity/athlete support at rallies, because it would not be damaging to their brands. Schilling, Glavine, Rivera, Rocker, etc. don't care because they are retired, but they still have influence as celebrities.

True, a lot of athletes try to stay out of politics, despite the fact, everything is in a sense, political.

Kaepernick did a noble thing, it's that a majority of Americans were not ready for what he was doing.

He should be a offensive coordinator/QB coach for some team, any team.

Getty, I really suggest you go back to summoning sucubuses, or just think in deep thought if what you say in these threads are even true or possible. I will give you a hint, in your alpha male thread, you really just went out and called all men who are not perverted as being not a real man.

His brand is synonymous with shit. If you're not a Flavor-Aid drinker, his branded products are associated with failure and poor quality.
Great brand... the bigliest.
