Which sport is more Republican?

[Hawkeye-X]

[david_vincent]

1. Golf

n/t

[CrownPrinceBandar]

10. Maybe on the fat, private courses...

but on the public one I play at it a whole different story. Not quite Caddyshack, but close.

[foreigncorrespondent]

27. That would be my...

...choice as well.

[citizen snips]

37. Clinton is a good golfer.

He had a green at the white house.

[ProfessorGAC]

54. Don't Start That Nonsense Again

The Professor

[AntiCoup2K4]

2. ALL of the major league sports are turning Republican.

They're more about greed and who can BUY the best team rather than honest competition.

But I had to vote for candidate bashing, given the recent developments here at DU, and the "sheer coincidence" of it happenning right after a certain oxycontin addicted windbag started making this board a daily feature of his 3 hours a day of mindless babbling.

[Fleshdancer]

3. Rublican: The nastiest of spectator sports

let's see...for the neocons atleast, we have a group filled with hate who loves war and death without actually serving on the front lines, right? Chickenhawks. Therefore, the sport of the elephant is nothing more than a drunken Monday night couch quarterbacking session.

That's my guess.

[Champion Jack]

4. every repug I know plays golf

personally, I think that golf is about as much of a sport as checkers, or lawn darts.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

11. I play golf, and I am a unapologetic dem.

Try it, you'll see how much of a sport it is. It requires skill and practice and there's competition too. Sounds like a sport to me. But hell, I think curling is a sport.

[citizen snips]

38. Me too.

Golf is an all mental game.

[Ilsa]

5. You forgot

NASCAR.

I wish it wasn't true, but i fear it is.

I loved when Niles Crane on Frasier picked up a coffee table book and spoke the title: The Heroes of Na-Scar'. Anyone else see that? My husband, a very liberal NASCAR fan, still busts a gut over it.

[CalebHayes]

7. Yeah, NASCAR

[Kellanved]

8. that's a sport?

Who would have guessed?

[CrownPrinceBandar]

12. Unfortunately NASCAR...

by it very nature supports the oil lobby. Why don't they start putting alternate fuel sources in those cars? Seems like the perfect testing platform for something other than gas-power.

[bobthedrummer]

49. All motorsports.

eom

[tishaLA]

15. Yeah 'NeckCar

oohhhhhhhhhh that driver made a GREAT left turn on lap 107.....or was it the left turn on lap 106? I can't remember.

[DoctorBombay]

21. Another vote for NASCAR

*turns left*

[Jack Rabbit]

6. Solitaire

One can cheat all he wants and nobody will care. Just the way they'd like elections to work.

[demsrule4life]

9. I like your response

but I have to say Golf, it is a rich mans game.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

13. No.

I am definitely not rich and play on a public course where the green fees are $25 bucks for 18 holes. I know people who spend double that going out and drinking on Friday night.

[ProfessorGAC]

55. Then You Would Be Wrong

Check out the website of the National Golf Foundation. You'll be amazed at the median income of the 25 million U.S. golfers. Check out the commerce department's website. See how close to 25 million the number of rich americans there are.

You'll find out you're wrong on both counts.

The Professor

[AlFrankenFan]

14. Fooball

Or maybe golf. Doesn't Rush play golf?

[WillParkinson]

16. Polo!

It should be so obvious.

[SiobhanClancy]

30. That would be for the ones who aren't afraid of horses....

unlike Bush,the Coca-Cola Cowboy:)

[THUNDER HANDS]

17. people who are voting football are totally nuts

Football is the most socialistic sport on the planet. The NFL in its current incarnation is set up like they were taking crib notes from Castro.

Basically all teams are equal. And one or two wins decide the fate of half the teams in the league. There are no dominant dynasties anymore. Every player is smaller than their team.

It's practically communist!

Baseball is the most republican sport, by FAR.

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Thanks for posting that...

So I don't have to. :)

[JVS]

34. Football is Proletarian, Golf is Bourgeois, Baseball is a mix

[LTR]

18. Pocket pool

Right wing radio is such a circle jerk!

[sleipnir]

19. Hockey, it's all about fighting, no real gamemanship, just fighting

Especially a majority of the fans, they seem to be the big Rethugs of all. I mean, a lot of them go to these games just to get drunk and watch fights. Might as well give em a gun and call the NRA for new members.

[ZenLefty]

44. Very funny.

The frozen north of Canada isn't exactly a bastion of conservative thought.

[diddlysquat]

20. Golf - at a private club

Unless things have changed since my father passed away.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Car racing...

eom

[corporatewhore]

24. Witch Hunting most definetly

[Bundbuster]

25. How could you omit

"Professional" wrestling? Those arena fans would castrate known libruls.

[Hawkeye-X]

26. Dude...

That is SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT not real wrestling... I was a fan too...

[Skittles]

28. HUNTING

COWARDS LOVE THIS "SPORT"

[corporatewhore]

33. dears commies and libruls

lets get em

[WillyBrandt]

29. Cock Fighting

Others' cocks, of course

[tishaLA]

31. I've fought with a few cocks in my day

and trust me, there was nothing republican about it.

[Kamika]

32. how do i know if a sport is republican?

Im not too hip on that

[11 Bravo]

35. I love golf and have been an avid player for 40 years

(since I was 12). But if there is a more insular, white bread, republican-by-nature sport, I am not aware of it.

[name not needed]

36. least repug sport: paintball

pro paintball would make a freeper commit suicide. all those people doing something not out of greed. not to mention women not wearing burkhas. and people not shooting to kill. not to mention very few paintball companies are considered greedy.

[UTUSN]

39. Golf n/t

[Syn_Dem]

40. I'd definitely go with NASCAR as well

Whats the point of using all the fuel and rubber to drive 500 laps?

[Nazgul35]

41. Has to be NASCAR...

red necks galor....

I'd put WWF wretlin a close second....

[PittPoliSci]

42. NASCAR

no offense to any DU nascar fans, but when i think of nascar, i also think of beer and guns.

[OldSoldier]

52. I like beer and guns!

..

[ZenLefty]

43. I thought football was very democratic

Socialist, even. I don't know much about the game (well, I know zero about the game) but I was reading some DUers comments on it when limbaugh was on a footbal show, remarking at how the rules of the game and the NFL in general was very much democratic.

I'll dig up some links if I get bored.

[TankLV]

45. Roman Colesium Battles circa BCE (Before Common Era)

That's the old "BC".

Especially the fake gladiator prisoner battles.

It's only a matter of time till we see it here again, I'm afraid.

After all, even some on this board actually approved of torture in posts not too long ago.

Sigh

[oustemnow]

46. Dodgeball, definitely

a game that requires very little skill save the desire to hurt other people.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

47. Polo

It costs a shitload of money to own and train the horses needed for the sport.

[arewethereyet]

48. gold, duh

its funny that some say NASCAR, apparantly never been to a race.

[101 Proof]

50. Which is more Republican?

I don't get it...I didn't know there was any political affiliation with sports....? :shrug:

If you mean which sport has a higher % of Republicans, then I'd say NASCAR.

[Nailzberg]

51. Steal the Bacon (that game you played in 3rd grade PE)

It has theft and pork in the name. Perfect for the GOP.

[DS1]

53. Pocketball

:shrug:

[ChoralScholar]

56. If football is republican

I guess thats the only republican part of me. I live for college football.

[beyurslf]

57. Hey i am a football fan.

I was thinking NASCAR.

[LynneSin]

58. Where is NASCAR racing and Pro Wrestling

And I'm offending anyone thinks football is 'republican'

:mad:
